Unusual for Rajinikanth, who boasts a fan following across age categories, his upcoming action entertainer Coolie has obtained an A certificate after clearing the censorship formalities. Valli was also certified 'A' but Superstar played only guest role in it. Is #Coolie the first full length Rajinikanth film to get 'A' certificate?
With this
announcement, Coolie will be the first Rajini film in
years to get an A certificate. It is worth noting that the film's director,
Lokesh Kanagaraj, had said there won't be any compromises on violence and
action in the film.
Produced by
Kalanithi Maran under his Sun Pictures banner, Coolie boasts
a star-studded ensemble consisting of Nagarjuna as Simon, Sathyaraj as
Rajasekar, Upendra as Kaleesha, Shruti Haasan as Preethi, and Soubin Shahir as
Dayal. Rajinikanth plays Deva in the film. Confirming speculations, it was
revealed that Aamir Khan will play Dahaa in Coolie. The film
is a reunion of sorts as Rajini teams up with Sathyaraj 38 years after Mr
Bharath and Aamir Khan 29 years after Aatank Hi Aatank.
The
controversy erupted with the August 1 re-release of the film’s Tamil
version, Ambikapathy.
Studio Eros International, reportedly without the director’s consent, used
artificial intelligence to fundamentally change the movie’s iconic,
heartbreaking conclusion.
What The
New AI Raanjhanaa Ending Reveals
In the
original film, audiences were left shattered as a fatally injured Kundan
(Dhanush) succumbs to his injuries, leaving Zoya (Sonam Kapoor) to grieve his
lifeless body. The new AI version rewrites this cinematic history. The scene
cuts from Zoya caressing Kundan’s face to a shot of him breathing. His friends
watch in relief before entering the room, smiling. Kundan then opens his eyes
and wakes up, not to a somber score, but to celebratory music. Reports from
those who have seen the re-release claim the AI effect is seamless, making it
difficult for new viewers to even spot the alteration.
One fan
wrote, "AI version new climax response for #Ambikapathy re-release.
#IdlyKadai #Ambikapathy #Dhanush."
The video
that has been making the rounds online also shows Dhanush's character, Kundan,
opening his eyes again, and he lives! Seeing his character not die, fans can be
heard screaming and whistling.
Another fan
mentioned, "My Kundan is alive, I'm so emotional while watching. Thank you
Al #Raanjhanaa."
Someone else
wrote, "#Raanjhanaa / #Ambikapathy gets a
beautiful twist with a new AI-generated climax & it's so realistic, it hits
right in the feels. Kundan is alive... and so is our love for this timeless
story. AI just gave fans the closure they always wanted."
