According to reports, the distribution rights for Coolie are now a hot commodity in the trade, and many trade experts are predicting that Coolie has a strong possibility of becoming the movie with the highest pre-release business ever done in Kollywood.
Following the huge buzz surrounding Coolie, a heated debate is now happening on social media as Some netizens have responded that the immense hype for Coolie is because it's being directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.
They are pointing out that Rajinikanth's last movie, Vettaiyan, didn't have this huge buzz, and attribute the difference solely to Lokesh Kanagaraj, as he earned a massive fanbase across states after Vikram's industry hit.

In contrast, some Rajinikanth fans believe that despite it being a multi-starrer and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Rajinikanth's legacy is the major reason for this huge hype for Coolie.
They argue that he proved his market potential with Jailer, which is why Coolie's distribution rights are such a hot commodity in the trade.
