In a rare show of fanfare, multiple companies in Singapore and India have announced paid holidays for employees to catch the first-day screening of Rajinikanth’s much-anticipated film Coolie, debuting on August 14, 2025. Singapore's Farmer Constructions PTE Ltd is offering Tamil workers a paid day off along with first-day-first-show tickets and SGD 30 for food and beverages, citing it as part of "workers welfare and stress management." Another Singapore company, SB MART, will shut operations from 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. In India, a Madurai-based firm is granting holiday plus free tickets, celebrating the superstar’s 50-year cinematic legacy.
