Chennai, August 25, 2025: Superstar Rajinikanth, widely regarded as one of the most iconic actors in Indian cinema, continues to leave his mark with his latest film Coolie. Released on August 14th, Coolie has crossed the ₹10 crore mark on its second Saturday, becoming his highest-grossing film after the 2023 hit Jailer.

In Coolie, Rajinikanth steps into the powerful role of Devaraj, a former gold smuggler turned antagonist, bringing his signature energy and charisma to the screen. The film, set in a rugged Tamil Nadu backdrop, is packed with gripping action, explosive fist fights, and mass appeal moments that have captivated audiences across the globe.

Known for his dynamic performances, Rajinikanth yet again proves that age is no barrier to delivering box office gold. At 74, he continues to dominate the screen with powerful dialogues, high-octane fight sequences, and a magnetic presence that keeps fans “on the edge of their seats.”

While Coolie continues to perform exceptionally in India, it has also made history internationally — especially in North America — as one of the top-grossing Indian films overseas. With its smuggling-driven plot, stylized action, and cinematic flair, the film has struck a chord with audiences of all ages.

This marks a new chapter in Rajinikanth’s illustrious career, adding another feather to his cap alongside his iconic roles in Robot, Kabali, and Jailer.

Coolie is not just a movie — it’s a testament to Rajinikanth’s timeless appeal and his unbeatable mass stardom.

Madurai, August 2025 — In a tribute that blends cinema with sacred devotion, a passionate fan of Superstar Rajinikanth has celebrated the legendary actor’s 50th year in the film industry in a truly unforgettable way.

Karthik, a long-time admirer, marked this cinematic milestone by decorating the Arulmigu Sri Rajini Temple in Madurai with over 5,500 photographs of Rajinikanth. The fan performed an abhishekam (ritual bathing) on the temple’s 300-kg idol of the actor, transforming the temple into a vibrant celebration of the star’s journey that began in 1975.

The temple, inaugurated just a few years ago, was built as a symbol of the powerful connection between Rajinikanth and his fans. This celebration marks a golden chapter, not only in his career but also in the lives of those who idolize him.

The fan and his family offered prayers and performed traditional rituals to honour the superstar’s golden jubilee in cinema. The walls were adorned with photographs tracing Rajinikanth’s remarkable five-decade journey — from his debut in Apoorva Raagangal, directed by K. Balachander, to his blockbuster hits like Sivaji: The Boss, Enthiran (Robot), 2.0, Jailer, and more.

Speaking to local media, Karthik said the temple and tribute are a token of love from generations of fans who grew up watching Rajinikanth on the big screen.

Now 74, Rajinikanth remains a towering figure in Indian cinema. His signature style, punch dialogues, and unique screen presence have made him one of the most adored actors not just in Tamil Nadu but across the world.

Rajinikanth was last seen in Vettaiyan, a film directed by T. J. Gnanavel and featuring an ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, and Rana Daggubati.

Up next, the superstar will headline ‘Coolie’, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, slated for release on August 14, 2025. The film will see him sharing screen space with Upendra, Aamir Khan, and Nagarjuna Akkineni — yet another feather in the cap of this living legend.

As Rajinikanth steps into the 51st year of his illustrious career, tributes like these remind us of the profound impact he’s had — not just as a cinematic icon but as a cultural and emotional force in the hearts of millions.
