If industry buzz is to be believed, director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s much-anticipated action entertainer Coolie, starring Superstar Rajinikanth, is poised for a massive global release on August 14, 2025. Sources suggest that the film may reach audiences in over 100 countries, making it one of the most expansive international rollouts for an Indian film to date.
Hamsini Entertainment, a major name in international film distribution, is spearheading the global distribution of Coolie. With a portfolio that includes the successful overseas releases of The Greatest of All Time (GOAT) featuring Vijay in over 40 countries and Devara starring Jr. NTR in more than 90 countries, Hamsini has consistently brought Indian cinema to a worldwide audience. With Coolie, the company is reportedly preparing for its largest release yet.
Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie has already created ripples by becoming the highest overseas procurement for a Tamil film in history. The film boasts an ensemble cast that includes stalwarts from across Indian cinema such as Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Shruti Haasan.
Anirudh Ravichander scores the music for the film, marking his fourth consecutive collaboration with director Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film’s visual aesthetics are helmed by cinematographer Girish Gangadharan, with editing by Philomin Raj.
Adding to the anticipation is the reunion of Rajinikanth and Sathyaraj on screen after nearly 38 years. The duo last shared screen space in the 1986 blockbuster Mr. Bharath, where Sathyaraj memorably portrayed Rajinikanth’s father. Interestingly, Sathyaraj had previously declined roles in major Rajinikanth films like Sivaji and Enthiran, making this reunion all the more noteworthy.
Coolie, which marks Rajinikanth’s 171st film, centers around the theme of gold smuggling. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has confirmed that the film will be a standalone project and not part of his famed Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), adding a fresh creative angle for fans and critics alike.
With its star-studded cast, global release strategy, and the magic of the Rajinikanth-Kanagaraj combination, Coolie is shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the year.
