The film is slated to hit the theatres on August 14 and fans can't keep calm. The advance bookings are open and we have already booked our tickets. Ahead of the release, a company in Madurai gave paid holiday and free tickets to all employees. Feels like a dream, but it's not.
Being a huge Thalaivar fan, Uno Aqua Care, a company with multiple branches across South India, has declared an official holiday for all its employees on the release day. This move aims to avoid a flood of leave requests on that day and to encourage employees to enjoy the film and partake in the celebrations. The holiday extends to all Uno Aqua Care locations including Chennai, Bangalore, Trichy, Tirunelveli, Chengalpattu, Mattuthavani, and Arapalayam.Take a look at the official statement: — RockinggRAJINI (@RockinggRAJINI)
Uno Aqua Care's tribute goes beyond just giving a day off. The company is organising charitable activities under the banner of "50 years of Rajinism." This includes donating food to orphanages and old-age homes, distributing sweets to the public, and actively supporting anti-piracy efforts. Additionally, all employees of Uno Aqua Care will receive free tickets to watch Coolie.
The excitement around Coolie is not limited to corporate celebrations. Ticket bookings have smashed expectations with advance domestic sales crossing Rs 5.55 crore excluding block seats. When block seats are included, this figure rises impressively to Rs 10.27 crore. Overseas markets have responded enthusiastically as well, with advance ticket sales for the opening day surpassing Rs 37 crore. These numbers indicate a blockbuster opening on the horizon, with industry experts predicting that Coolie could easily cross Rs 100 crore worldwide on its first day.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie touted to be a mass entertainer packed with high-octane action, gripping drama, and quintessential Rajinikanth-style moments designed especially to thrill his legion of fans.
The film is going to face stiff competition from another big release War 2 , featuring Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan in lead roles.

Devil hunter Denji is in love with two women in Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc, watch trailer
One of the best-selling mangasof all time is getting the film treatment, as Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc is coming to a theatre near you soon. Based on the original story and characters written by Tatsuki Fujimoto, this time Denji will have to choose between two women who he loves while trying to keep up with his already chaotic life. The film will release on September 26, and going by the trailer and the reactions it got, this film is going to be welcomed with open arms. Denji becomes a Devil Hunter after making a deal with Pochita, who is the chainsaw devil. The deal saves Denji's life, and he gets the ability to turn any part of his body into a chainsaw. In the first arc of the series, Denji decides to join the Public Safety Division, which is led by one of the women he is in love with, Makima. The protagonist continues to have strong feelings for her even though she technically betrays him. As he starts striking some kind of balance between his normal life and his life as a hunter, a new character is introduced, Reze. The name of the film and the trailer do suggest that Denji's affection for Reze is going to be central to the story, and it will be interesting to see whether this time his feelings will be reciprocated or not. ALSO READ: This Hollywood child star with Rs 157 crore net worth became a millionaire at 11, quit acting at 14; still makes millions for his hits 33 years later Laced with violence and dark humour, the series quickly shot to fame in 2018. The anime adaptation of the series was done by Mappa Studios, known for other animes like Attack On Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen. Both those adaptations received immense love, especially the former, which Mappa picked up for the last season. The studio is also behind the film, and the director of the anime, Tatsuya Yoshihara, is helming the project. Fans expressed their excitement online but took the trailer with a grain of salt due to some reported cuts. Many fans argued that certain scenes have been removed from the original trailer and said that they hope the CBFC does not suggest cuts in the actual film. A fan commented under the trailer, 'The censor board might actually censor this movie like Superman from the looks of it,' while another wrote, 'Why is this censored? Hope they don't do it to the actual film.' While it's still unclear why the studio or Sony decided to change the trailer, if cuts have been suggested at this stage, it's likely that they will end up staying in the actual film. Past anime films released in India, such as Demon Slayer: Mugen Train and Jujutsu Kaisen Zero, did well given the limited shows they had, which highlights a growth in anime viewers in the country, hence another big market opening for all creators.

Did you know? Superstar Rajinikanth appeared in a French film in 2006
This article written by Usman Feroze appeared in The Hindu on 26-01-2007 When K Balachander cast a young bus conductor from Bangalore in an insignificant role in his 1975 film Apoorva Raagangal, the Tamil filmmaker told audiences to watch out for the 'fire in the actor's eyes.' Now, more than two decades later, the eyes of Rajinikanth have become the deciding factor for French actor-director Alain Chabat to 'cast' the superstar in his film. Chabat's top-grossing French comedy Prête-moi ta main (I Do) has Rajinikanth making an appearance in the form of a TV sequence showing a stunt scene from his 1995 film Muthu. 'Chabat decided in favour of Muthu, though he initially wanted to show a kung-fu sequence from a Chinese film. He was attracted by Rajinikanth's eyes,' says Etienee Dubaille of Chez Wam, the production company of Chabat. In the film, its heroine Emma, played by actor Charlotte Gainsbourg, is shown watching Muthu. She is asked, 'What are you watching?' to which she replies, 'Muthu, a cult Indian movie,' and adds when Rajinikanth's face appears, 'I love that scene!' In a live interview on the Internet, Chabat told a Tamilian living in France that Muthu was a 'very good movie ... Super, in one word!'
