Same same but different: Ahead of its trailer release, comparisons between the poster of Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’ with Hollywood movies ‘Madame Web’, ‘Glass’ and ‘Rebel Moon’ have appeared online.
Several social media users have compared the latest poster of ‘Coolie’ with the Hollywood releases. The posters of these Hollywood films featured the lead characters in fragmented glass pieces. This is a theme that has also been adopted by the team of ‘Coolie’.
Several users criticised the makers for a perceived lack of originality. They suggested that the concept was directly inspired by recent international releases.

The comparisons come ahead of the film’s trailer and audio launch at Chennai’s Nehru Indoor Stadium today (August 2). It is expected to add further excitement to one of the most anticipated films of the year. The event is expected to draw a considerable amount of attention and will be attended by Rajinikanth, Aamir Khan and the rest of the cast of the film.
Same same but different: Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the much-awaited film is produced by Kalanithi Maran under the banner of Sun Pictures. Rajinikanth leads the film as Deva, alongside actors such as Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Soubin Shahir. One highlight of the film is Bollywood actor Aamir Khan’s cameo as Dahaa.
