According to the producers, Rajinikanth\u2019s unrivalled global fan following, the holiday release, and Lokesh Kanagaraj\u2019s stellar track record all contributed to this unusual demand. Experts anticipate that Coolie will become one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of all time. Coolie smashed previous Tamil film records. Rajinikanth\u2019s Kabali (2016), which grossed $1.9 million, was the highest pre-sales so far. Vijay\u2019s Leo (2023), The GOAT (2024), and PS1 (2022) were in the second, third, and fourth, respectively, with Jailer (2023) coming in fifth.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><strong>Coolie: Cast and Other Details<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">The film marks Lokesh Kanagaraj\u2019s first collaboration with Rajinikanth and boasts an ensemble cast featuring Nagarjuna, Nimma Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Aamir Khan in pivotal roles. With massive advance sales, star power, and Lokesh Kanagaraj\u2019s action-packed storytelling, Coolie is set for a grand opening not just in India, but globally. Interestingly, the film will compete in theatres with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR\u2019s War 2.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-2868721147 artcta\">\n<p class=\"p1\">Get the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/tamil-cinema\/\">Tamil movie<\/a> news updates from Kollywood upcoming release, trailers, celebrity interviews, box office updates and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/movie-reviews\/\">reviews<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news18.co\/gnps-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google.
