According to popular sources, the digital rights to Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film Coolie have been purchased by Amazon Prime for a massive amount. The satellite rights have been sold to Sun Television. 

Interestingly, Coolie is the second consecutive Rajinikanth that has been bagged by Amazon Prime Video; the last one was the 2023 blockbuster Jailer. Notably, earlier reports revealed that Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Vettaiyan, directed by TJ Gnanavel, has reportedly been purchased by Amazon Prime.
