Ever since the makers of Rajinikanth-Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie and Hrithik Roshan-NTR’s War 2 announced the clash on August 14th, audiences became highly interested in it. As of now, Coolie is leading overseas, while War 2 is trending in reverse.
Tamil is the main language for Coolie, while Hindi is the main language for War 2. But for both films, the 2nd biggest market is Telugu. NTR is one of the leads in War Sequel, which is a huge factor for Telugu audiences.
Coming to Coolie, there is Superstar Rajinikanth, and his face-off with Nagarjuna is an exciting factor for Telugu cinema lovers. Also, Lokesh Kanagaraj has built a good image among Telugu audiences.
Coolie Leads Overseas: Dominates War 2, Including Telugu Version
War sequel’s business is almost double that of Rajnikanth’s film, but surprisingly, Coolie is leading overseas, while War 2 is trending in reverse.
This trend needs to be reversed in the local markets. NTR’s mass following will bring huge numbers for benefit shows for the sequel of War, even with hiked ticket prices, which will not work for Coolie.
But if it comes to regular shows, both films will have a tight face-off, and the WOM will decide which one will take the lead.
Somehow Coolie’s promotional content worked better than War 2 for Telugu audiences, which is the reason for the Tamil biggie taking the lead over the YRF spy action drama.
The makers of War 2 plan a big pre-release event this weekend, and the film’s buzz is expected to go next level after this.
