Rajinikanth’s much-anticipated film “Coolie”, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is all set to release on August 14, and the film’s advance booking has already broken records. The excitement surrounding the film is palpable, especially in Kerala, where tickets have been flying off the shelves, with nearly 2 lakh tickets sold in just a few hours.

A video shared by Sun Pictures on X captures the frenzy as hundreds of Rajinikanth fans swarmed a theatre in Thrissur, Kerala, to secure tickets for the first-day first-show of Coolie. The video showcases fans racing to the gates as they open, eager to grab the coveted tickets for the massive star’s latest release. The caption read, “Massive fan craze storms theatres for just the advance booking of #Coolie in Thrissur, Kerala!”

Record-Breaking Advance Sales

According to reports from Sacnilk, Coolie has already made a massive impact in advance sales, particularly in Kerala, where it has grossed around ₹3 crore. With 50,000 tickets being sold per hour, the film is on track to set new records. The film’s advance bookings are also looking strong overseas, with reports estimating ₹30 crore in pre-sales globally. The film is expected to break the previous ₹66 crore overseas opening record set by Vijay’s Leo.

Anticipation Builds for Coolie’s Release

With Rajinikanth leading the cast, along with a star-studded ensemble that includes Nagarjuna Akkineni, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj, Coolie is one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year. The film will also feature a special appearance by Aamir Khan.

Produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures, Coolie is set to face stiff competition at the box office, with the release coinciding with Ayan Mukerji’s War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR. Nevertheless, Rajinikanth’s massive fanbase is expected to drive Coolie to a record-breaking opening.
