Avoiding box office clash

Rajinikanth and Hrithik Roshan

Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Coolie and Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 were initially set to clash at the box office on the Independence Day weekend. However, after multiple discussions, both film teams have agreed to release them on different weekends, dodging a potential box office showdown. The new release date for Coolie is still being negotiated, with the team also hunting for distributors to ensure a successful pan-India release. Boasting a stellar ensemble cast, including Nagarjuna Akkineni and Shruti Haasan, Coolie is one of the most anticipated projects from the south, this year. Meanwhile, War 2, also starring NTR Jr, is sticking to its August 14 release plan.
