Coolie Eyes Screens As War 2 Tightens Grip

Talk of Coolie getting delayed has spread fast online, mostly because of screen bookings around War 2. But sources from Chennai have dismissed it as baseless. Sun Pictures is already closing deals, especially in Tamil Nadu, and there’s no sign of slowing down. Everything seems on track, and insiders say there's not even a small chance of a pushback.

It’s true that War 2 is locking screens smartly. But Coolie is not sitting idle either. The team is picking its distributors carefully to stay ahead. Even if there’s some change in theater count, the makers believe strong word-of-mouth will bring the numbers back. While War 2 carries weight, the response to its teaser wasn’t as strong as expected. There’s hope the trailer might change that, but for now, Coolie seems to have the edge.

The film’s hype is growing, especially with names like Akkineni Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Aamir Khan in the mix. That alone is creating a strong buzz. Telugu buyers are already discussing huge numbers, with talk of ₹50 crore in circulation. Lokesh Kanagaraj is a big reason for that momentum. Promotions have started, with a pre-release event set for the end of July and the trailer coming in early August.

Shruti Haasan plays the female lead, but interestingly, there may be no duets with Rajinikanth. That detail has caught fans' attention. With rumors cleared and promotional work rolling out, Coolie is moving forward full speed, no detours, no slowdowns.
