Rajinikanth Creates History With $2M Premiere Pre-Sales

Superstar Rajinikanth fans in North America are proving their love in the most spectacular way possible. The Superstar’s upcoming film Coolie has already broken records before even hitting the big screens. In a rare feat for Tamil cinema, Coolie has crossed a whopping $2 million in premiere pre-sales in the region, the first-ever Tamil film to do so. This milestone not only shows Rajini’s unstoppable pull but also hints that August 14th is going to be a festival day across theatres.

The buzz around Coolie started the moment the title was announced, but the pre-release momentum has taken it to a whole new level. The excitement isn’t just among Tamil audiences, Indian cinema lovers from all backgrounds are booking their premiere tickets to witness Rajinikanth’s magic unfold. Trade circles say this level of pre-sales is something even big-budget Hindi films rarely achieve overseas, which makes Coolie’s achievement all the more special.

Rajinikanth’s collaboration with director Lokesh Kanagaraj is another big factor behind the craze. Lokesh’s track record of high-octane, mass-appeal films and his knack for blending style with substance have already made him a fan favourite. Add Rajinikanth’s charisma to the mix, and you get a combination that audiences simply cannot resist. With premiere tickets selling like hot pakoras on a rainy day, distributors are predicting housefull shows for several days straight.

As the film gears up for its worldwide release on August 14th, the record-breaking start is setting the stage for what could be one of the biggest box-office runs for a Tamil film globally. From Chennai to California, fans are already planning their whistles, cheers, and cutouts. If the pre-sales are any indication, Coolie is not just a movie, it’s shaping up to be a full-blown celebration.
