Rachita Ram, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, Kanna Ravi, Monisha Blessy and Kaali Venkat appear in supporting roles. In the film, a mysterious man stands up to a corrupt syndicate that exploits and abuses the workers in a port town. This will be a first for Nagarjuna, as he will be donning a villain's role — playing the antagonist. He has appeared in over 90 films as of now and has been honoured with many accolades and awards - playing leading protagonist role in most of his outings. In Coolie, his antagonist avatar will surely make fans watch him in a different light. With 'Coolie', Aamir Khan is entering Tamil cinema in full throttle. Sporting a razor-sharp, high-octane, stylish look, Aamir is seen in a never-before-seen character of 'Dahaa.' This marks a reunion with Rajinikanth after 30 years, as the duo previously worked in 'Aatank Hi Aatank' (1995) which also featured starred Juhi Chawla and Om Puri in pivotal parts.

War 2 box office collection day 1: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR film opens strong despite competition from Rajinikanth's Coolie
Synopsis Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2 clashed with Rajinikanth's Coolie at the box office. War 2 opened on a good note in India on its opening day, boosted by strong advance bookings, particularly in the Hindi and Telugu markets. Read on to know how much it earned on opening day! Starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani, the film arrived in theatres today (August 14) (Credit: Twitter/HrithikRoshan) Today (August 14), we are witnessing one of the biggest box office clashes as Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR's War 2 goes head-to-head with Rajinikanth's Coolie . Both films are currently running in theatres and sending fans into a frenzy with their swag and power-packed performances. As early figures roll in, the battle lines are clearly drawn, and while War 2 has made a solid start, Coolie appears to have taken the lead in the initial race. Though the film is receiving mixed responses from audiences, fans are especially praising the on-screen chemistry between Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan. According to early estimates by War 2 earned Rs 5.16 crore in India on its first day across all languages. While this is the interim figure as of now, the final box office collection will be confirmed once the official announcement is made. Besides this, as reported by Sacnilk, War 2 has registered an impressive Rs 20.49 crore in all-India advance booking collections for Day 1. A bulk of these earnings have come from the Hindi and Telugu markets, thanks to Hrithik Roshan's North Indian appeal and Jr NTR's devoted Southern fanbase. The film's premium release formats, including IMAX, 4DX, and ICE, have also added majorly to the tally, bringing in an additional Rs 11.59 crore. Regionally, War 2 is seeing strong traction in Southern India. Andhra Pradesh alone has contributed Rs 8.64 crore through advance bookings, a figure expected to cross Rs 10 crore when blocked seats are included. Telangana follows with Rs 2.61 crore in confirmed sales and a projected total of Rs 5.03 crore. In the Hindi-speaking belt, Maharashtra leads with Rs 2.1 crore, rising to Rs 3.29 crore including blocked seats, while Delhi NCR and Karnataka are close behind with over Rs 1.9 crore each. However, despite a strong showing, War 2 is currently trailing behind Rajinikanth's Coolie, which has taken a clear early lead. What's more striking is that Coolie's Tamil version alone has generated Rs 27.75 crore, surpassing War 2's total across all by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War and sees Hrithik Roshan return as RAW agent Kabir, now facing off against Jr NTR's character, Vikram. The film also stars Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana, and Anil Kapoor in key roles. While the action-packed spy thriller has all the ingredients for a box office hit.
