Rajinikanth’s Action Thriller Coolie Welcomes Aamir Khan for a Special Cameo
The highly anticipated action thriller Coolie, featuring the legendary Rajinikanth, has taken the excitement to another level with the addition of Aamir Khan, who will appear in a cameo role. This revelation was made by Upendra Rao at a recent event in Hyderabad.
Coolie has already generated significant buzz with an impressive cast, including Nagarjuna Akkineni, but the confirmation of Aamir Khan joining the project has excited fans even further. Known for his meticulous approach to cinema, Khan’s participation promises to add a unique flair to the film.
Upendra Rao shared this exciting news during a promotional event for his upcoming film 45, alongside Shiva Kumar and Raj B Shetty. A video from the event has surfaced and is being widely discussed on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing Upendra’s thoughts on his experience while working on Coolie.
Speaking on the occasion, Upendra expressed his admiration for Rajinikanth, saying, “I didn’t inquire much, but when Lokesh (Kanagaraj) presented the story, I felt it was glorious just to be alongside him even for a few moments. If I consider myself as Ekalavya, then he is my Dronacharya—his contribution to entertainment is unparalleled, and I feel fortunate to have worked with him.” He also confirmed that he shared scenes with both Nagarjuna and Aamir, intensifying the collaborative spirit of the film.
Under the direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his ability to create blockbusters, Coolie is expected to showcase Rajinikanth in a fresh and exciting role. Besides Nagarjuna and Upendra Rao, the film will feature a talented ensemble that includes Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, and Soubin Shahir.
Aamir Khan’s appearance is set to occur at a crucial juncture in the plot, though specifics about his character remain closely guarded. The interest surrounding his involvement is palpable, as fans are eager to see how his performance will intertwine with the narrative.
Additionally, Pooja Hegde is slated to deliver a vibrant dance sequence that promises to elevate the film’s entertainment value. With financial backing from Kalanithi Maran’s Sun Pictures, Coolie is poised for a global release on August 19.
