The countdown has begun and we are only a week away from the release of Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajinikanth’s action thriller Coolie. The team had unveiled the much-anticipated trailer recently, and that has set the ball rolling for the promotions.

Slated for a theatrical release on August 14, Coolie is produced on a big scale. While the promotions began with the release of singles, Chikitu Vibe, Monica and Powerhouse, after the trailer revelation, the makers have gone on ground to promote the film.

From making Coolie’s visual presence available on parcel boxes, trains, to the team participating in the pre-release events across cities, the positioning of Coolie is going rock solid. This is despite the fact that the film is already star-studded and needs no introduction. With peppy music by Anirudh Ravichander, the goodwill of Lokesh Kanagaraj, the presence of stalwarts like Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Upendra, Aamir Khan, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, and Shruti Haasan have already hyped up the film. However, the team is keen to make sure the last mile connectivity would be on ground promotions, and the more Coolie is visually populated in the eyes of public, the better it is. But one has to wait and watch if all this translates to the benefit of the film on its release date.
With the promotions on full swing, one has to note that Coolie has been certified A. This means, the film will be suitable only for adult viewing. This daring step has come off as surprise for fans, while it marks the first in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s career. It also breaks Rajinikanth’s three-decade old streak of making family friendly films. Lokesh had earlier said that there is “no compromise on violence” in Coolie. The action thriller is set to hit big screens on August 14 and will collide with Hindi film War 2 featuring Hrithik Roshan and Junior NTR.
