Here is exciting news for all Indian movie buffs: Aamir Khan and Rajinikanth might get back together on screen after three decades in the movie Coolie. It has generated considerable buzz among fans and the film fraternity, with both actors being icons in their respective domains.
A Historic Union
Aamir Khan‘s cameo in Coolie is going to be a historic moment in the careers of both Bollywood and Kollywood. Both of them have had glittering careers, while their last film Aatank Hi Aatank has now attained cult status. With the reunion finally happening, the fans cannot help but think of their previous collaboration and what this time may bring about.
Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie is expected to be one of the biggest releases in Tamil cinema. With an ensemble star cast that includes Amitabh Bachchan, Shruti Haasan, and Kannada actor Upendra Rao as the prime antagonist, the movie will be produced on a grand budget by Sun Pictures, guaranteeing high production values coupled with an interesting storyline.
Speculations though were rife that the film would come under Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Cinematic Universe aka LCU, those have been laid to rest for Coolie. Interestingly, this is letting the film starve off its own identity within the vast realms of Tamil cinema.
Aamir Khan’s Special Cameo
Reports are that Aamir Khan’s role in Coolie would be that of a special cameo, not a fully fledged character. Fans of Aamir Khan are now speculating upon the nature of his appearance and how it would fit into the overall narrative of the film.

Projects Underway for Rajinikanth
While Coolie is making all the noise, Rajinikanth is equally busy with other commitments. His next, Vettaiyan, by TJ Gnanavel, will release on October 10, 2024. By the way Rajinikanth is handling back-to-back big-ticket films, it speaks volumes of his sustained draw and workmanship in the industry.
Aamir Khan’s Current Endeavors
