Rajinikanth’s 'Coolie' earns surprising ‘A’ certificate from CBFC

The much-anticipated Tamil film 'Coolie', starring Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has generated tremendous buzz. Its excitement has also spread widely among Telugu audiences. With impressive pre-sale numbers in the USA and now gaining traction in Canada, the Telugu version alone has already earned over $100k.

Promotion Underway with Anirudh and Lokesh


The team, including Anirudh and Lokesh, has kicked off the promotion of this major film with various media interviews. In a surprising turn of events, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has assigned the movie an 'A' (Adults Only) rating. This unexpected decision has caught everyone off guard and is now trending across social media platforms.

Uncertainty Around the ‘A’ Rating

Whether the ‘A’ rating is due to intense violence or some other factor remains unclear until the censor certificate is released. This is also the first time a movie by Lokesh Kanagaraj has received an adult-only classification. Given the already high expectations, this surprising news is sure to increase the excitement further. The film, featuring stars like Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Shruti Haasan, is scheduled to premiere on August 14.

Star-Studded Cast and Release Date

There are recent reports suggesting that Rajinikanth is working on 'Jailer 2', a follow-up to his successful 2023 film directed by Nelson Dilipkumar.
