Superstar Rajinikanth starrer Coolie is slated to release in theaters on August 14, 2025. As the film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj inches closer to hitting the big screens, there's scrutiny that the movie has copied some of its poster designs from Hollywood ventures like Glass and Rebel Moon.
Did Coolie makers copy posters for Rajinikanth starrer from Glass?
In a recent post on social media, a user on X (formerly Twitter) alleged that the makers of Coolie have reused existing designs for posters. The examples showcase the Rajinikanth starrer's publicity designs created by Gopi Prasannaa to be similar to Hollywood movies Glass and Rebel Moon, directed by Zack Snyder.
Moreover, the recent poster used for Coolie's censor update was allegedly taken from a fan edit for Thalapathy Vijay starrer Beast. However, it is unclear whether the designs are merely coincidental in similarity or taken as inspiration.
