Rajinikanth’s Upcoming Film “Coolie” Generates Significant Buzz
The excitement surrounding Rajinikanth’s film Coolie is palpable, and the financial prospects are reflecting high expectations. According to industry sources, the overseas theatrical rights are still being finalized. However, the film has reportedly received substantial offers exceeding Rs 80 crore, marking it as one of the largest overseas pre-release deals in the history of Tamil cinema.
If these figures are confirmed, it would set a new record for pre-release overseas revenue for a Tamil film, surpassing previous blockbusters like Jailer, Leo, and 2.0. A decision on the overseas distribution deal is anticipated soon, with official announcements to follow.
Strategic Focus on Telugu Markets
Interestingly, the makers of Coolie are prioritizing a stronger appeal in Telugu-speaking states rather than the Hindi market. This strategic shift follows the impressive box office performances of Jailer and Leo in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where both films outperformed in Telugu regions compared to Hindi markets. The inclusion of Aamir Khan may help bridge this gap, appealing to both audiences.
Distribution Deal Insights
Sources close to the production indicate that the team is aiming for a more substantial distribution deal from Telugu states, given the recent trends where major Tamil films have found lucrative opportunities in these territories compared to Hindi markets. Estimates suggest that the deal could range between Rs 40 to Rs 50 crore. However, the release of War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan, NTR Jr, and Kiara Advani, may pose a challenge, especially with NTR Jr‘s strong influence on the Telugu audience.
Coolie also boasts a talented cast, including Nagarjuna, Sivakarthikeyan, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and Pooja Hegde.
