Release date clashes between big films often create confusion and impact their box office performance. A similar situation may arise with War 2 and Coolie. War 2, starring Jr. NTR and Hrithik Roshan, is officially set to release on August 14, with director Ayan Mukerji planning sufficient time for post production.
However, recent reports from Chennai suggest that Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, might also release on the same date.
Coolie’s stellar cast, including Nagarjuna, Upendra, Aamir Khan, and Shruti Haasan, and the buzz generated by its first look, it’s expected to perform strongly, especially in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka.
If the clash occurs, War 2 could face significant challenges in these markets. Yash Raj Films, which invested heavily in War 2, aimed for a solo release. Whether both films will release on the same date remains to be seen.
