CBFC ‘A’ rating adds to the hype
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has granted Coolie an ‘A’ certificate, which is a first in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s filmography. Hitting the big screens on August 14, ‘Coolie’ also stars Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruthi Haasan, and Upendra in pivotal roles.Meanwhile, the story is completely different for the most awaited Hrithik Roshan starrer ‘War 2’ as the hype seems to be less for the movie in the south regions. With an impressive song like ‘Monica’ and an interesting trailer, ‘Coolie’ is currently the trend among the south audiences.
