Rajinikanth starrer Coolie is a highly anticipated pan-India film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.
The movie boasts a star-studded cast, featuring Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Upendra, Aamir Khan, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and Pooja Hegde, among others.
Scheduled for release this year, the competition for its Telugu distribution rights has already begun.
Several major companies are vying for the Telugu rights of this Sun Pictures production.
Among them, Asian Cinemas’ Sunil and Sithara Entertainments’ Naga Vamsi are the main contenders.
Reports suggest that a direct offer of over Rs 40 crore has been made. Consequently, any bidder must surpass this amount to secure the rights.
Recently, intense competition also surrounded Suriya’s 'Retro', with Sithara Entertainment acquiring its Telugu rights for approximately RS 9 crore.
The company had previously secured the Telugu rights for Leo and Devara. Now, Sithara is locked in another fierce battle for the Telugu rights of Coolie after Retro.
