Singapore Firm Grants Paid Holiday for Tamil Workers to Watch "Coolie"
In an exciting move, Farmer Constructions PTE Ltd, a Singaporean company, has granted its Tamil workers a paid holiday to watch the highly anticipated movie "Coolie" starring Rajinikanth on its release day, August 14, 2025.
As part of their workers' welfare and stress management initiative, the company has also provided first-day-first-show tickets and a SGD 30 allowance for food and beverages[1][2][4][5]. Another Singaporean company, SB MART, has announced a partial closure from 7 am to 11:30 am on the same day to allow employees to watch the film, resuming business afterward[1].
The news of this generous gesture has attracted attention online, with many fans appreciating the support given to Tamil workers for enjoying the much-anticipated film. "Coolie" is an action drama directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his recent track record of hits[8].
Given Rajinikanth's massive fan base and the film's high anticipation, advance bookings for "Coolie" have seen an overwhelming response in several cities[7]. In Tamil Nadu, cinema halls will be permitted to run a maximum of five shows of "Coolie" between 9 am on August 14 and 2 am on August 15[3]. The government has also directed theatre owners and multiplex operators to take adequate safety measures to prevent overcrowding[6].
This initiative by Farmer Constructions PTE Ltd adds to the widespread interest and excitement surrounding Rajinikanth's "Coolie". The movie will be released worldwide on August 14[2].
