Title significance
Why is the title significant?
The title Power House has been a popular term in Tamil pop culture since the release of Rajinikanth's 2025 film Coolie.
In that film, the term was used as a codeword to unleash the protagonist's inner beast.
Fans have already started drawing parallels between the two movies.
However, its relevance to the story of Power House currently remains unclear.
The film also features MS Bhaskar, Shammy Thilakan, VTV Ganesh, and Samyuktha Hegde.
