India, Aug. 23 -- Days before Rajinikanth's Coolie was set for release, there was uncertainty about whether it would get a Kannada dubbed version. Despite an early teaser in Kannada, on the trailer launch day, there was no sign of a Kannada version. It came a good 5 days later, with an assurance from the makers that the film would release with a Kannada dubbed version in Karnataka. The question then was if the effort would pay off, given that teams often decry the lack of audience for the dubbed version, owing to which exhibitors also tend to prioritize the original version.
