Tamil Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has made a strong impact on Telugu audiences, with films like Khaidi and Vikram. Rajinikanth’s Coolie is his next release, and the Telugu version’s bookings say that Lokesh Kanagaraj has built a strong fanbase among Telugu audiences.
Even when competing with a big Telugu star like NTR in War 2, Lokesh’s movie cracked some sections of Telugu viewers’ interest, and they prefer to watch his film first.
Coolie’s Telugu version advance bookings are proof that Lokesh Kanagaraj has built a strong fan base among Telugu audiences. His last film, Leo, also had a very good opening in Telugu despite the face-off with Balakrishna’s Bhagavanth Kesari, and that too, even though Vijay is not a big star in Telugu.
Now, even with NTR’s War 2 releasing, Coolie gears up for a massive opening in Telugu. With the help of the Lokesh brand, the film also has Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role, alongside Nagarjuna in an antagonist role.
So, all the above-mentioned factors worked superbly for Rajinikanth and Lokesh’s film, and if it gets positive reviews, then it can mint huge numbers at the Telugu states box office.
