Superstar Rajinikanth is all set to return to the big screen with Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial. Co-starring Nagarjuna, Aamir Khan and others, the much anticipated actioner is scheduled for a release on August 14, 2025. Amid the excitement of the movie’s release, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has given it an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certification.
Yes, you read that right! According to a report by News18, Coolie has received an A certificate. For those who don’t know, this is Kanagaraj’s first movie to get an adult rating, as opposed to his earlier films like Vikram and Leo, which were granted an U/A certificate. The production of the movie, Sun Pictures, took to their official social media handle to share an update on the same.
Taking to their X (formerly known as Twitter) handle, they shared a poster of Coolie and wrote, “#Coolie censored (A letter emoji) #Coolie releasing worldwide August 14th (fire emoji) @rajinikanth @Dir_Lokesh @anirudhofficial #AamirKhan @iamnagarjuna @nimmaupendra #SathyaRaj #SoubinShahir @shrutihaasan @hegdepooja @anbariv @girishganges @philoedit @ArtSathees @iamSandy_Off @Dir_Chandhru @PraveenRaja_Off @RIAZtheboss #CoolieFromAug14.”

It is to be noted that the adult rating for the film implies that the content should be strictly watched by viewers who are of the age 18 and above. This might be due to intense violence, suggestive themes, or coarse language in the film. As soon as the announcement was made, fans began to express their curiosity over the theme of the film.
Produced by Kalanithi Maran’s Sun Pictures, the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial is headlined by superstar Rajinikanth. Coolie also stars Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, and Monisha Blessy, along with Aamir Khan in a special cameo. Scheduled for a release on August 14, it will clash at the box office with Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani starrer WAR 2.
