RAJINIKANTH'S COOLIE TO RELEASE IN OVER 100 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD, TO SET NEW RECORDS
Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Coolie is set to rewrite the history of Indian cinema’s global footprint. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, this action-packed mass entertainer will release in over 100 countries, creating a record for Tamil cinema and elevating its international presence.
COOLIE TO HAVE UNPRECEDENTED GLOBAL RELEASE
The international release strategy for Coolie is massive in scale. The film will hit theatres across Asia, Europe, the Americas, Middle East, Africa, and Australia, making it one of the most widely released Indian films ever.
Distribution will be handled by Hamsini Entertainment, known for handling major overseas rollouts for big-budget Indian films. Their strategy ensures that Coolie will reach audiences in countries that traditionally don't receive Tamil films in theatres — a major expansion in Rajinikanth’s global fanbase.
OVERSEAS RIGHTS FETCH RECORD PRICES
The overseas theatrical rights of Coolie have been sold for a whopping ₹80 to ₹90 crore, one of the highest ever deals for a Tamil film. This includes countries where Indian films have previously underperformed — indicating the industry’s confidence in Rajinikanth’s unmatched global appeal.
RAJINIKANTH + LOKESH KANAGARAJ: A BLOCKBUSTER COMBO
Rajinikanth will portray a stylish don involved in gold smuggling. The storyline, visuals, and music by Anirudh Ravichander have already built tremendous hype.
The film also stars:
Nagarjuna in a powerful supporting role
Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Upendra, Soubin Shahir
A special cameo by Aamir Khan
A sizzling dance number featuring Pooja Hegde
Lokesh Kanagaraj has clarified that Coolie will not be a part of his cinematic universe, making it a standalone mass commercial film designed to maximize appeal across demographics.
HUGE PRODUCTION BUDGET AND HIGH EXPECTATIONS
Coolie is mounted on a massive budget of ₹375 crore, which includes:
₹150 crore for Rajinikanth
₹50 crore for director Lokesh
₹150 crore for production
₹25 crore for promotional campaigns and global marketing
With non-theatrical rights (OTT, satellite, and music) reportedly sold for over ₹240 crore, the breakeven target is easily manageable, ensuring high profitability.
