Vaani on not being part of War 2
In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Vaani was asked if she felt she should have been part of War 2. The actor said, 'No, I wish them the best. I feel incredibly grateful that I at least got the opportunity to be a part of a film like War, the OG War. It is looking beautiful. It is cinematic. It is larger than life. Kudos to the team.'
Playfully referencing the fates of her and co-star Tiger Shroff's characters in the original film, Vaani quipped, 'Me, Sid (director Sidharth Anand), and Tiger are all not there in the sequel. Tiger and I both passed away in War. So I said, if Tiger comes back, I'm coming back too, my friend!'
Released in 2019, War was a major box office success and one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of the year. Directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Yash Raj Films, the action thriller starred Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, and Vaani Kapoor. The film received praise for its high-octane action sequences, slick visuals, and the dynamic chemistry between Hrithik and Tiger. War crossed ₹475 crore globally and became the highest-grossing Indian film of 2019.

There has been much anticipation for the upcoming film of superstar Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan, releasing on August 14, which is none other than Coolie. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film is set to be one of the most anticipated films of 2025. The makers of Coolie are closely working to analyse and understand the dynamics of promoting Coolie. It is worth noting that Coolie's trailer has not been released yet. The main reason behind not releasing the trailer by now is to generate curiosity among the audience. Taking a look at BookMyShow's interest meter, Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan's film Coolie doesn't seem to get the attention. This film already beats Rajinikanth's Coolie Interest Meter for Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan's King. You'll be surprised to note that Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film King is currently taking charge on the interest meter on BookMyShow. It is surprising to note that a film that has not even released a poster has officially shown impressive readings on the interest meter. But there is a big twist in these figures. Here's how Shah Rukh Khan beat Rajinikanth For the unversed, the Interest Meter is a feature that is visible on the BookMyShow website and app. It shows how many people have an interest in the upcoming movie, show, or event. When many people click or check a movie or event, they press the 'Interested' or 'Remind Me' button on it. Then the interest meter starts shooting up. This shows how excited people are to watch that movie or show. Obviously, when the ID of Coolie was created on BookMyShow, this interest meter started appearing on it as well. Something similar has happened with King as well. Can Rajinikanth beat Shah Rukh Khan? Here's how it is possible Interest Meter of Rajinikanth's Coolie. People have noticed that on the interest meter, Shah Rukh Khan's King has surpassed Rajinikanth's Coolie.

However, a total of 21 lakh 12 thousand fans have shown interest in its Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada versions of Coolie. In this way, Rajini's Coolie is already ahead of Shah Rukh's film, because Coolie is going to be released after two weeks, whereas King will hit the theatres after at least a year. Rajinikanth's Coolie goes head-to-head with Hrithik Roshan's War 2 Rajinikanth's film is all set to lock heads with Hrithik Roshan's War 2 rather than King. Hrithik Roshan, Junior NTR, and Kiara Advani's film will be released on the same date as Coolie, i.e., on August 14. Rajinikanth-Aamir Khan's Coolie all set to clash with Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR's WAR 2 It is interesting to note that Rajinikanth's film has a total of 37 lakh 92 thousand people who are interested in watching the film.
