Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie will clash at the box office with Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2 in theaters this Independence Day Weekend. The latest news is that Coolie is set to challenge War 2 in North Circuits.
It is a known truth that the Tamil film industry is struggling in the Pan-India race. Before Baahubali, the Tamil cinema industry was the biggest of South Indian cinema.

However, after Baahubali, Tollywood started acquiring other languages, especially Hindi. Even the Kannada industry also scored big in Hindi with the KGF series and the recent Kantara series.
Whereas Kollywood still struggles to make a big impact in Hindi belts, which is the reason they have not scored a 1000 Cr grosser yet.
Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie carries massive buzz, and everyone anticipates that it will deliver 1000 Cr at the box office for sure.

Recently a buzz started that Rajini and Lokesh’s film may not release in Hindi multiplex screens due to the 4-week OTT window.
However, the news is said to be false, as the Hindi version of the Tamil biggie will have an 8-week OTT window, and the movie will be released massively in Hindi too.
War 2 vs Coolie faceoff was expected to be only limited to South audiences, but now Rajinikanth’s Coolie is set to challenge Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2 in North Circuits.
Certainly, the sequel of War will have a big edge in Hindi belts, but Coolie: The Power House will also make some numbers due to its massive star cast.
The action drama stars Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna and it is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Moreover, it also has Aamir Khan’s presence, which for sure will create some interest in northern audiences too.
