Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's much-awaited film Coolie will hit theatres in just two days. The demand for tickets across the country is massive despite its box-office clash with the Hindi film War 2. Most shows on August 14 have already sold out. With such high demand, ticket prices have skyrocketed. According to reports, a theatre chain is reportedly selling tickets for as high as Rs 4,500.

A fan took to X to reveal that Rohini Theatre in Chennai has priced the ticket at Rs 4,500, citing an additional celebration featuring a flower show and a helicopter display as the reason for the premium rate.

Meanwhile, according to reports, in Pollachi, a theatre staff was caught on camera selling FDFS tickets for Rs 400. Although this is illegal, many are taking advantage of the high demand to sell tickets on the black market at exorbitant prices.
