Coolie: Telugu theatrical rights of Rajinikanth’s action thriller acquired by Game Changer producer worth crores

In a major move, Rajinikanth’s upcoming film, Coolie, is poised for a grand debut. At 70 years old, this Tamil cinematic legend is ready to impress once more by portraying an action-packed character in the Lokesh Kanagaraj-directed production. Expected to hit screens on August 14, the film’s distributors have reportedly secured a significant theatrical rights agreement for the Telugu-speaking regions.

Coolie’s Telugu theatrical rights worth Rs. 45 crore

According to India Glitz’s report, the film Coolie has generated significant interest not only in Tamil Nadu but also in several key Telugu-speaking regions. With immense anticipation building around Rajinikanth’s movie, the producers have recently closed a substantial agreement for theatrical rights in these areas as well.

Asian Suniel Narang, Suresh Babu, and producer Dil Raju have purchased the Telugu cinematic distribution rights of the movie for a massive sum of 450 million rupees.

Although the details haven’t been finalized just yet, this agreement seems poised to rank among the priciest deals ever struck between Tamil films and the Telugu region.

What is Coolie’s title in its Hindi version?

Indeed, the movie “Coolie” will be available in various languages aside from its initial release in Tamil. Notably, it will also have a Hindi version catering to viewers primarily in Northern regions of India.

The latest update from Red FM India showcases a new title poster for the movie Coolie, now titled Majadoor. Yet, we’re still waiting for the producers to officially confirm this change.

Rajinikanth, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s salary, budget and other details of Coolie

According to a report from TopMob, it’s stated that the film Coolie was produced at an enormous budget of approximately 3500 million rupees. This total cost includes not only the production expenses but also the personal earnings of directors Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajinikanth.

It was reported that Rajinikanth is set to receive a check totaling 150 crores Indian rupees, which is among the largest sums ever paid to an actor upfront.

Contrarily, Lokesh has managed to secure an impressive fee of 500 million rupees, breaking yet another record in his filmmaking career.

As a lifestyle expert, let me shed some light on an exciting cinematic event coming up. If you’re new to this world, you should know that upon its debut, Coolie will be going head-to-head with another blockbuster movie, War 2, at the box office. Both films are set to hit the screens on the same day, promising a thrilling battle for audience attention.
