Undoubtedly, the mega clash of the year is War 2 vs. Coolie, which falls on 14th of August. The competition between NTR-Hrithik Roshan and Rajinikanth excites everyone. However, the War 2 vs. Coolie clash sparks a language debate.
Suddenly, in the past 2-3 days, a few sections of people/netizens have started bringing language barriers into film discussions. Some Telugu movie fans allege that the Tamil people will not watch all our films, so we need not prefer to watch Coolie when War 2 is getting released in competition.
But the reality is Telugu audiences not only welcome Tamil movies, but they even watch good films from Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi as well. That is the reason people across all industries say Telugu audiences are the best audiences.
The Tamil audiences are always choosy about other languages films, but that does not mean they completely ban or do not watch Telugu films.
SS Rajamouli’s films like Eega, Baahubali, and RRR did extremely well in Tamil Nadu, while Pushpa and Kalki also did well.
Realistically, if Coolie is a dubbed film, then definitely War 2 is also a dubbed film as a straight Bollywood film and a part of the YRF Spy Universe. Telugu big star NTR stars in the sequel of War, and likewise, Coolie had Telugu star Nagarjuna in a crucial role.
So, Telugu audiences bringing language war in the time of War 2 vs. Coolie clash is unnecessary.
For the buyers and theatre owners, both films need to deliver success, which is much needed for Tollywood. Creating these kinds of barriers and spreading some kind of negativity on any film is unnecessary, and it can even harm the entire industry.
