Overview

• On August 23, Rajinikanth’s publicist Riaz Ahmed told fans the Malik Streams promotion was unauthorised and fake, urging them not to participate.
• Malik Streams responded with an official statement asserting the contest’s legitimacy and warning of legal action against those spreading misleading claims.
• Hours later, the publicist issued a follow-up note attributing the earlier post to miscommunication and confirming the contest is organised and open for participation.
• The Instagram-led “COOLIE WATCH & WIN” rules include purchasing Coolie tickets, posting them publicly with #COOLIEWW2025, one entry per account, tickets dated on or after August 21, a minimum 50-ticket entry, and prizes for the top three highest purchasers.
• The back-and-forth left fans and some media uncertain even as organisers maintain the event’s validity and point to their track record.
