Aamir Khan is busy promoting his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par. During a recent promotional interview, the actor confirmed his cameo appearance in superstar Rajinikanth’s next movie Coolie, helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Aamir also revealed that he agreed to the role without even reading the script.
During a conversation with Zoom, Aamir replied to a fan’s question about his cameo in the film and said, “I really enjoyed doing it. I am 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.’”
Coolie is set to hit theatres on August 14 and features a stellar cast, including Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan and Sathyaraj, with Pooja Hegde in a special appearance. This film marks Aamir Khan and Rajinikanth’s reunion after 30 years, since their 1995 collaboration Aatank Hi Aatank, directed by Dilip Shankar.
Coolie will mark the first collaboration between Aamir Khan and Lokesh Kanagaraj. They will next join forces for a superhero film. In a recent interview, Aamir said, “Lokesh and I are doing a film together. It’s a superhero film – a big-scale action outing. The film will begin in the second half of 2026. We have both signed it. I cannot reveal anything further. The film will begin in the second half of 2026. We have both signed it. I cannot reveal anything further.”
