Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' Filming Wrapped; To Clash With 'War 2'?

Chennai, March 18 - One of the biggest films of the year, superstar Rajinikanth's action drama Coolie has completed the entire shoot, the makers announced on Monday (March 17) with a short video glimpse from the sets.## Directed by Lokesh Kanagraj, Coolie was shot in multiple locations over a period of 8 months. It kicked off in mid-July 2024 and wrapped up in mid-March 2025. The filmmaker maintained his efficacy in completing his film shoots in a planned manner without causing delays. ## As the filming is done, the real question now is when the film will hit the big screens. It was originally planned for a May 2025 release but it has been postponed from there. It has been reported by reliable media sources that Coolie may release on August 14, 2025, but there is a catch. ## Yash Raj Films' highly-anticipated spy action thriller War 2 is already scheduled for August 14 release in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.

The release date is likely to be announced very soon with a teaser. ## Produced by Sun Pictures, the film stars Rajinikanth in the title role, alongside Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR and Monisha Blessy. Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan plays an important cameo and the fans are excited for the same in the Hindi belt.## It's a super wrap for #Coolie 🔥@rajinikanth @Dir_Lokesh @anirudhofficial @iamnagarjuna @nimmaupendra #SathyaRaj #SoubinShahir @shrutihaasan @hegdepooja @anbariv @girishganges @philoedit @Dir_Chandhru @PraveenRaja_Off pic.twitter.com/ulcecQKII1— Sun Pictures (@sunpictures) March 17, 2025 ## Stay tuned...
