Singapore company employees get paid holiday and free tickets. Thanks to Rajinikanth's Coolie

Just two days before its much-anticipated release, Coolie, starring the legendary Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has already set the entertainment world abuzz. The excitement surrounding the film is unmatchable, with fans eagerly counting down the hours until they can witness the magic on the big screen. Fans are going crazy on Thalaivaa taking over the screen soon and we have proof!

Singapore firm offers paid holiday to Tamil employees

After a Madurai-based firm, a company in Singapore has made headlines by announcing a paid holiday for its Tamil-speaking employees to watch Coolie on its opening day. Not only that, the company is also providing free tickets and an additional allowance of 30 Singapore dollars per person for food and beverages. This initiative, described as part of workers' welfare and stress management, has gone viral on social media.

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has been heavily involved in the film's promotion, recently paid a spiritual visit to the Shiva temple in Tiruvannamalai, seeking blessings for the movie’s success.

Adding to the film's buzz is its record-breaking overseas rights acquisition, making it the highest-selling Tamil film in international markets to date. Industry insiders speculate that Coolie will release in over 100 countries, marking an unprecedented global reach for a Tamil-language film.

More about Coolie

The star-studded cast includes big names such as Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Shruti Haasan, alongside Rajinikanth, promising powerful performances and diverse characters.

However, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has rated Coolie with an 'A' certificate. This has raised concerns among fans, especially since Rajinikanth’s movies traditionally attract a family audience, including children, who may now be restricted from viewing the film in theatres.

As Coolie prepares to hit cinemas worldwide on August 14, the film is going to clash with YRF's much-awaited spy movie War 2, featuring Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan.

Whether it will live up to the hype and break new box office records remains to be seen, but the excitement leading up to the premiere is undeniably at an all-time high.
