For months, speculation has been swirling about a potential box-office showdown between Coolie, starring Superstar Rajinikanth, and War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, over the Independence Day weekend in 2025. If both films release simultaneously, it would be a massive clash, bringing together some of the biggest stars from different film industries. While War 2 boasts Hrithik and NTR, Coolie features Rajinikanth (Tamil), Upendra (Kannada), Nagarjuna (Telugu), Soubin Shahir (Malayalam), and, reportedly, Aamir Khan (Hindi).
Amid growing anticipation, the makers of War 2 have officially announced its release date—August 14, 2025. Reacting to a fan-made video on X, Yash Raj Films (YRF) confirmed the news with a tweet, stating, “Must say… you have set it up brilliantly even before we have started our marketing of #War2 … there will be mayhem in cinemas on 14 August 2025, worldwide…”
Fans of Hrithik and NTR are thrilled by the confirmation and are eagerly urging the makers to begin promotions. Meanwhile, there’s no official word yet on Coolie’s release. Now that War 2 has locked its date, all eyes are on Coolie to see if it will join the high-stakes box-office battle.
