We’re tackling a major sequence right now, and I’m super stoked about taking this on… this team is meeting it head-on.”

Finally Rajini fans can be happy. Thalaivar has beat Thalapathy at the box office 0 YES, at the Hindi box office. Read on : Even though there was no multiplex release for Leo due to a 4-week OTT window, the film did very well in Hindi belts and collected around 30 Cr net in India and emerged as the 2nd biggest grosser for Kollywood in Hindi belts after 2.0.

Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie clashed with War 2, the Bollywood biggie, but it was successful in beating Leo collections at the box office. By its second weekend, the film had collected around 32 Cr net in India and surpassed Kabali (28 Cr) and Leo (30 Cr). Now, this action drama is the second biggest grosser for Kollywood in North India. Overall, the film has collected around 475 Cr gross worldwide and  is racing towards the 500 Cr mark.

If you think Anirudh is pocketing the singer fees by singing in his own songs or in other music composer songs then you are wrong . He does it free. Read on : He has sung nearly 175 songs for other music directors, while also working on his own music. He has sung songs in Tamil as well as Telugu. Gaali Vaaluga, Hoyna, and Baitikochi Chuste are some of his most popular works in Telugu as a singer.

Anirudh has not charged even a single rupee for the songs he has sung for other music directors. On average, a leading singer charges about 10 lakhs per song, which means he could’ve made 1750 lakhs or 17.5 crores.

This just shows his love for music. He sings because he wants to be a part of that project, and not because it will fetch him money. This is a true sign of a rockstar and an artist.

Anirudh has a terrific lineup of films ahead, they include Thalapathy Vijay’s Beast, the multistarrer Vikram, and Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2. Anirudh will also be serving as music director for NTR30. Anirudh sings most of the songs, and it is receiving high criticism. The netizens question him on that, and they clearly state that some of his songs are more suitable for other singers than him. Recently Anirudh faced negative reactions for singing Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom’s song, Anna Antene, and now, for Madharaasi’s 2nd single, Vazhiyiraen.

Rockstar Anirudh Ravichander’s Hukum World Tour Grand Finale lit up MARG Swarnabhoomi, Kuvathur, ECR on 23rd August 2025, drawing a record-breaking crowd of 50,000+ fans. It set a new benchmark as one of the biggest and best-organized live music events Chennai has witnessed in recent times.

The Hukum Grand Finale was organized by Brand Avatar, delivering a world-class concert that will be remembered as a milestone in Chennai’s live music history.

Lokesh to Repeat Leo Record with Coolie / Thalapathy could not folllow Kamal's advice

Why Lokesh Kanagaraj will repeat Leo success with Coolie and Rajinikanth ?  Released in 2023, Leo marked the reunion of Lokesh Kanagaraj and Thalapathy Vijay after Master. With crazy hype on the ground, the film clocked a superb 66 crore net at the Indian box office on day 1.  This figure was possible after Leo clocked high figures in two Telugu States as well as in Kerala and Karnataka. Now Coolie will have to play second fiddle to War 2 that has NTR Je with Hrithik. But looks like Coolie is just a rampage in these States after the lukewarm response to War 2.

Coolie has many things going its way. It has many familiar faces, including Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna. And on top of that there is adequate commercial appeal with the massy BGMs and commercial visuals.

As officially announced, Coolie is scheduled to release on August 14, 2025. In a solo release, the film would  definitely bag the biggest opening ever for a Tamil film, as War 2 is a Hindi film dubbed in Telugu – Tamil .  Vijay’s Leo holds the record of the biggest Kollywood opening at the Indian box office with its massive day 1 collection of 60 crore+.  Lokesh will match it or go one step more with Coolie.

   According to an earlier report by India Today, Kamal Haasan was asked about Vijay’s films in a television interview. The National Award-winning actor responded by saying that Vijay had given some blockbuster films, and he had even seen some of them. But Kamal Haasan also wanted Vijay to make good films like accomplished Hindi film industry actors Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. He further said that Vijay has the potential to do that. By saying that Vijay should make ‘good films’ like Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, Kamal Haasan might have meant that he should do films that blend quality storytelling with mass appeal.

Interestingly, Kamal Haasan’s remark about Vijay came in the same year when the latter’s film Bairavaa was released in theatres. Although the film received an underwhelming response from several critics, Bairavaa reportedly became Vijay’s fastest film to breach the 100-crore mark at that time (Via Indian Express) Before that, Vijay starred in Atlee’s action thriller Theri, which is regarded as one of the most popular films of his career. Both these Bollywood stars were doing content-oriented films, which did well commercially. Perhaps that’s why Kamal Haasan cited Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan as examples and wanted Vijay not to focus solely on mass entertainers. An advice that Thalapathy could not take heed. Last film is Jana Nayakan.
