Aamir Khan is set to start filming for Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film Coolie. Headlined by superstar Rajinikanth, the movie will feature Aamir Khan in a cameo appearance. The actor is scheduled to shoot his scenes on October 15 in Chennai, according to a report by Peeping Moon. Although the specifics of his role are currently unknown, the report claims that Lokesh has carefully crafted a special character for the superstar. Aamir Khan will have a brief yet impactful scene with Rajinikanth, which is expected to elevate the story and create a memorable, mass-appealing moment for viewers. Coolie marks Aamir Khan’s first collaboration with Lokesh, and rumours suggest that the two will soon work together on a full-fledged film. Aamir Khan previously shared screen space with Rajinikanth in the 1995 movie Aatank Hi Aatank.
In September, the makers of Coolie unveiled the film’s poster, featuring Rajinikanth dressed as his character. The megastar was seen wearing a shirt and holding a number tag that coolies typically wear, with “1421” written on it. Sharing the poster on X (formerly known as Twitter), Lokesh Kanagaraj wrote, “Superstar Rajinikanth Sir as Deva in Coolie. Thank you so much for this Rajinikanth Sir. It’s going to be a blast.”
