The wait is over! Director Lokesh Kanagraraj has announced that Rajinikanth’s big-ticket film Coolie will hit theatres on August 14, ahead of Independence Day. The release was revealed on Friday, accompanied by a striking monochrome poster featuring Rajinikanth in a gritty avatar. Boasting an ensemble cast, including Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Shruti Haasan, Coolie also rumouredly features Aamir Khan in a cameo. With music by Anirudh Ravichander, Coolie will clash with Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr’s War 2 on August 14, setting the stage for an epic box-office battle. War 2 is the second instalment of War (2019), also starring Tiger Shroff. The film’s final schedule, including some critical action sequences, is scheduled to wrap this month.
