Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming action thriller, Coolie, directed by the sensational Lokesh Kanagaraj, is undoubtedly the most awaited Tamil film of the year. With sky-high expectations due to the powerful hero-director duo and an ensemble star cast, the film has already created massive buzz. Now, actor Sundeep Kishan has further amplified the excitement by confidently predicting that Coolie will be a definite 1000-crore blockbuster.
Sundeep Kishan Predicts 1000 Crore Box Office for Coolie
During the promotions of his latest film Mazaka, actor Sundeep Kishan shared his thoughts on Coolie. Though he is not part of the film, he recently visited the sets as a close friend of Lokesh Kanagaraj and had the opportunity to witness Rajinikanth in action. Speaking about his experience, Sundeep stated, “I watched 45 minutes of the film. It will definitely collect 1000 crores.” His remarks have set social media on fire, with Rajini fans enthusiastically sharing the clip and fueling even greater anticipation for the film.
The Key to Coolie Crossing 1000 Crore – A Strong Hindi Release
While Coolie has immense potential to enter the prestigious 1000 Cr club, its success largely depends on a well-planned Hindi release. To maximize its reach, the makers must secure an extensive theatrical run in multiplexes, ideally maintaining an 8-week window.
In the Telugu market, the film is expected to gross over 100 Cr, while in Tamil Nadu, its home turf, it can potentially rake in close to 600 Cr. However, to achieve the ambitious 1000 Cr milestone, the Hindi version must play a crucial role in capturing a pan-Indian audience. Without strong traction in the Hindi belt, hitting the four-digit mark at the box office could be a challenge for this Rajinikanth-Lokesh Kanagaraj venture.
Will Lokesh Kanagaraj Give Sundeep Kishan a Chance in LCU?
Lokesh Kanagaraj made his directorial debut with Sundeep Kishan’s film, and ever since, fans have been eager to see the actor join Lokesh’s expanding cinematic universe (LCU). Netizens continue to express their desire for Lokesh to offer Sundeep a significant role in his future projects. Whether the Khaithi director will heed this demand remains to be seen, but the anticipation for Coolie is undeniably at an all-time high.
With Rajinikanth’s star power, Lokesh’s directorial brilliance, and a grand-scale production, Coolie is shaping up to be a cinematic spectacle. The countdown to its release has already begun, and fans are eagerly waiting to witness this high-octane entertainer on the big screen.
