Aamir Khan Joins ‘Coolie’ – But Won’t Share Screen with This South Superstar
The countdown has begun for one of the biggest Tamil releases of the year—Lokesh Kanagaraj’s much-awaited action thriller, Coolie. With just over a month left until its grand release, the buzz around the film is steadily building, especially after the launch of its first single, “Chikitu”.
- A Star-Studded Pan-India Cast
Headlined by none other than Rajinikanth, Coolie promises to be a cinematic spectacle. The film boasts a massive ensemble cast featuring stars from across India—Upendra, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, and Nagarjuna, making it a truly pan-Indian affair. Recently, the film made headlines again after confirming the addition of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan to the cast.
- Aamir Khan and Nagarjuna: No Scenes Together?
While fans were thrilled to hear about Aamir’s inclusion, there’s a twist—not all star pairings will be seen on screen together. According to industry insiders, Aamir Khan and Telugu actor Nagarjuna will not share any scenes in the film. Nagarjuna, who plays a character named Simon, reportedly doesn’t cross paths with Aamir’s character at any point in the narrative.
- Aamir’s Entry Near the Climax?
Speculation suggests that Aamir Khan’s role will be introduced towards the climax of the film. This potentially sets the stage for a nostalgic reunion between Rajinikanth and Aamir, who last worked together in the 1991 film Aatank Hi Aatank. Could this be a teaser for a sequel or an open-ended storyline? That remains to be seen.
- Clash of the Titans: ‘Coolie’ vs ‘War 2’
As if the excitement wasn’t enough, Coolie is set to clash with another major release—YRF’s War 2—on August 14. War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, is the next installment in the YRF Spy Universe and follows the blockbuster War (2019). Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film is expected to be a high-octane entertainer in its own right.
With Coolie bringing together stars from multiple industries and War 2 adding firepower from Bollywood and Tollywood, this Independence Day weekend is shaping up to be a massive cinematic showdown.
