India, Aug. 10 -- It is still four days until the release of Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie, but already, the film is breaking box office records. The advance booking of tickets for the film opened in India on Friday, a few days after it did so internationally. Four days ahead of its release, Coolie has already crossed Rs.50 crore in advance bookings worldwide, a monumental number. Given that the real surge for tickets in India is yet to begin, the number could easily double by release day.

Coolie, a film by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Apart from Rajinikanth, it also stars Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Shruti Haasan in lead roles, with a cameo by Aamir Khan, making the film truly pan-India. Sacnilk reported ...
