AA 23 has been officially announced on Bhogi as Allu Arjun teams up with director Lokesh Kanagaraj for a highly anticipated collaboration. Mythri Movie Makers unveiled the project featuring music by Anirudh Ravichander, marking his first collaboration with the Icon Star.
Aamir Khan has put all speculation to rest by confirming that his highly anticipated superhero film with director Lokesh Kanagaraj has not been shelved. The superstar revealed he will be meeting the acclaimed Tamil filmmaker soon for the script narration, ending months of uncertainty.
IMDb has revealed its list of most popular Indian directors of 2025 based on page views from over 250 million global visitors each month. Mohit Suri ranks first while Aryan Khan becomes the youngest filmmaker ever to enter the Top 10 list with his debut web series The Bastards of Bollywood.
Lokesh Kanagaraj is reportedly making his Tollywood debut with the superhero film Irumbu Kai Maayavi, and Allu Arjun has been approached for the lead role. The project was originally intended for Suriya and later pitched to Aamir Khan, but both actors are unavailable for the film.
The superhero film collaboration between Aamir Khan and director Lokesh Kanagaraj has been shelved. The reason is a fundamental difference in their creative process.
Despite a record-shattering opening weekend, Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie has seen a shocking drop in collections during the weekdays. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the film’s box office performance and why it has underperformed.
After a record-breaking opening weekend, Rajinikanth’s Coolie has hit a major roadblock, with weekday collections plummeting dramatically. The film’s ‘HIT’ status is now in question as the coveted Rs. 500 crore worldwide gross seems an impossible target.
Rajinikanth’s Coolie is setting records across India, but the Hindi version is struggling. After an opening weekend of ₹18 crore nett, the film crashed on Monday with just ₹1.50 crore, taking its total to ₹19.50 crore nett. The sharp drop confirms that Coolie (Hindi) is heading towards a flop verdict even as the film dominates in South markets.
Superstar Rajinikanth’s speech at the Coolie audio launch, typically a highlight, has stirred controversy this time. Here’s why his remarks about the cast led to online discussions about respect and conduct.
Rajinikanth’s Coolie The Powerhouse is rewriting box office history with 1.2 million tickets sold before release, setting a new all-time record for an Indian film. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and featuring a star-studded cast, the ₹400 crore action spectacle hits cinemas worldwide on August 14, 2025.
The advance bookings for Rajinikanth’s Coolie have begun with a massive roar in Bengaluru. The film has already broken a record set by KGF: Chapter 2, with ticket prices in single screens reaching astonishing heights.
The advance bookings for Rajinikanth’s Coolie have opened to a thunderous response in Kerala, crossing Rs 2 crore in just three hours. With ticket sales peaking at 50,000 per hour, the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial is on track for a historic opening day worldwide.
