Superstar Rajinikanth is ready to make a comeback to the silver screen in grand style with Coolie, whose worldwide release is officially planned for August 14, 2025. The news was announced by Sun Pictures, the production house behind the movie, in a colorful teaser and a social media post on X (former Twitter). The movie mania in the world is at an all-time high as the icon of Tamil cinema prepares to deliver yet another performance that is packed with power.
Coolie is promised to be a high-octane action drama with retro Rajinikanth cool, along with mass appeal, larger-than-life moments, and dialogues with punch. The movie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is already creating a buzz for its retro-themed teaser that does homage to Rajinikanth’s old-school avatars, creating a mix of new-age and nostalgic appeal. With an 80s blockbuster-style title, Coolie is predicted to be a huge crowd-puller.
This is Rajinikanth’s return to cinema houses following his latest hit, and expectations are at an all-time high for what is being regarded as both a celebration of his film career and a festival outing. The film’s release date is being scheduled for the eve of India’s Independence Day and is being carefully placed to capitalize on huge turnstile numbers over the long holiday weekend.
Having a global following and a career like no other, Rajinikanth’s Coolie is more than a film—it’s an event. The countdown starts for what promises to be one of the biggest Tamil releases of the year, as fans prepare to see Thalaiva in yet another role that will evoke memories.
