Coolie starring Rajinikanth is currently undershoot and the film is riding high with the buzz. Fans and Audience have been eagerly waiting for the release date announcement. The Team has just revealed it, which came as a surprise to all. Coolie is all set to release on 14th August, creating a clash with another biggie, War 2 starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR which will also release on the same date.
War 2 is being made on a large scale budget involving both the Actors. The expectations are also sky high for this film. The film will have great audience pull from Tollywood and Bollywood. Now, Coolie is also set to impact War 2 in the Telugu Market. Likewise, War 2 also enjoys a popularity in the Tamil Market which may dent Coolie’s prospects.
Normally, a Rajinikanth starrer may not be a big competition to NTR’s film in Telugu States. But Coolie has the extra addition of star cast involving Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Aamir Khan with Lokesh Kanagaraj being the Director. So, Coolie also gets a big opening very likely in Telugu States.
But, as the team of Coolie expects big numbers in the Hindi market, this will be affected by War 2 undoubtedly. Both films have been positioning themselves as pan-India projects and aim to go big. Both the films are a 1000 crore grossing potential films. So, it needs to be seen how they would perform in this competition.

However, Mohanlal's Empuraan became an industry hit despite controversy, as Malayalis gave it a box office mega success. Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, Empuraan had an extraordinary extended first weekend at the box office, and it also showed some decent hold over weekdays. Now, it needs a strong 2nd weekend to achieve the 300 Cr gross milestone.](https://tracktollywood.com/wp-content/smush-webp/2025/04/Empuraaan-MOhanlals-L2-Empuraan-became-an-Industry-hit-despite-controversy-265x198.jpg.webp "Empuraan: An Industry Hit Despite Controversy")
