Rajinikanth's Coolie Faced 35 CBFC Cuts, Opted for 'A' Certificate: Lokesh Kanagaraj

• Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj revealed that his Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie faced 35 cuts from the CBFC.
• The CBFC recommended the same 35 cuts even after a re-censoring application, leading to the decision for an 'A' certificate.
• Lokesh stated that the film's thematic elements, particularly the depiction of electric cremation, justified the 'A' rating.
• The 'A' certification resulted in an estimated revenue loss of ₹40–50 crore for the film.
• Coolie, an action thriller, features Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Rachita Ram, and special appearances by Aamir Khan and Pooja Hegde.

Why It Matters: Lokesh Kanagaraj chose an 'A' certificate for Coolie over 35 CBFC cuts, impacting revenue.
