Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’ is generating immense excitement, securing special permission for increased screenings in Tamil Nadu starting August 14. However, Puducherry faces hurdles due to high entertainment taxes, leading to a limited release in just 15 theaters. Despite strong demand, the tax burden impacts profitability, contrasting with neighboring Tamil Nadu’s lower rates. The film also celebrates Rajinikanth’s 50th year in cinema.
