Aamir Khan is all set to appear in a special cameo in Rajinikanth’s upcoming movie Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The Bollywood superstar recently confirmed this exciting news in an interview, and fans from both North and South India are buzzing with excitement. What makes this even more special is that Aamir didn’t even ask to hear the script before saying yes!
Speaking about the cameo, the Sitaare Zameen Par actor said, “I really enjoyed doing it. I am a big fan of Rajini sir… huge fan. I have a lot of love and respect for Rajini sir. So, I did not even hear the script. When Lokesh told me that it is a Rajini sir’s movie and that he wanted me to do a cameo, I said, ‘Done. I am doing it. Whatever it is, I am doing it.’”
This statement shows how much Aamir Khan admires Rajinikanth. It also proves how powerful Rajini’s influence is across the Indian film industry, even among the biggest names in Bollywood.
What We Know About Coolie
Coolie is an action-packed Tamil movie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Sun Pictures. It stars superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role and includes a powerful cast such as Soubin Shahir, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, and Upendra.
The teaser for Coolie was released earlier and quickly went viral. It showed Rajinikanth in full action mode, fighting off bad guys in a gritty, factory-style setting. The teaser was presented in a unique monochrome style, with gold tones popping out – a signature style of Lokesh Kanagaraj.
The film’s music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, while Girish Gangadharan handles the cinematography and Philomin Raj is in charge of editing. Coolie is scheduled to release in 2025 and will also be available in IMAX format, giving fans a larger-than-life movie experience.
With Aamir Khan now confirmed to make an appearance, the excitement around Coolie has grown even more. This crossover between two Indian film legends is something fans are eagerly waiting to see on the big screen.
Aamir Khan’s Recent Projects
Apart from his cameo in Coolie, Aamir Khan has also been in the news for his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par. This movie is a remake of the Spanish film Champions and stars Genelia Deshmukh along with ten special newcomers. Aamir has mentioned that this is not his “comeback” movie, but fans are still excited to see him on screen again.
In a recent interview with The Indian Express, Aamir spoke openly about the emotional impact of the poor response to his last film, Laal Singh Chaddha. “I was quite depressed, heartbroken, and emotionally battered… I was very surprised that people didn’t like it,” he said. Still, his love for cinema continues to drive him, and his gesture of appearing in Coolie without even reading the script shows how much he respects Rajinikanth.
