Coolie, starring Rajinikanth, is slated for a grand release on August 14. Despite the not-so-great trailer, advance bookings in international markets remain strong, indicating that audiences have already made up their minds to watch this tentpole film. The project marks the first-ever collaboration between Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj.
Anticipation is massive even among Tollywood audiences, with the Telugu version registering impressive bookings for the USA premieres. Now, Coolie mania has gripped Andhra Pradesh as well. According to the latest trade reports, Coolie’s theatrical rights for Andhra Pradesh alone have been sold for a whopping Rs. 35 crores.
The Andhra region’s rights were acquired for around Rs. 23 crores (Rs. 19.8 crores+GST), while the Ceeded rights went for nearly Rs. 12 crores (Rs. 10 crores+GST). The film is being distributed by Asian Cinemas in association with Sri Venkateswara Creations and Suresh Productions.
Dil Raju is releasing the film on his own in Uttarandhra, and the theatrical rights include the valued price for this territory. Given the long holiday weekend, the movie is expected to be a jackpot for buyers, provided the content delivers. Stay tuned to 123telugu for more box office updates related to Coolie
