In a development that has delighted Indian cinema enthusiasts, it has been officially announced that Aamir Khan will make a special cameo in the much-awaited film ‘Coolie’, in which Rajinikanth is starring and Lokesh Kanagaraj is directing.
Whereas rumors have abounded for weeks, recent leaks have now disclosed Aamir Khan’s screen time in Coolie—the Bollywood legend will make an appearance in the film’s climax for about 8 minutes. Although he has a fleeting cameo, his role is said to be vital to the progression of the story, potentially paving the way for more cinematic developments.
Coolie: A Mega Multistarrer from the Lokesh Kanagaraj Universe
Coolie is the most awaited film of the year and is being touted as a high-octane action drama with a huge star cast. Headed by Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role of Deva, the film boasts an epic cast consisting of Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, and Shruti Haasan in important roles.
With Lokesh Kanagaraj in the director’s chair, there’s expectation on steroids. A master of building cinematic universes with substance (Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo), Lokesh infuses this film with his own signature grittiness, emotional depth, and high-octane action.
Aamir Khan’s cameo lends an extra layer of pan-Indian spectacle to the project.
Aamir Khan’s Coolie Character: Short But Impactful
Although Aamir Khan’s character occupies around 8 minutes of screen time, everyone associated with the venture is confident that his impact will be felt throughout the movie. He appears as part of a twist-laden climax, and his character will be certain to shift the trajectory of the story, and perhaps even set up an even larger overarching storyline in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU).
This is not a cameo role—it’s a masterfully placed cameo. Experts in the industry are of the opinion that the part Aamir has done might be the moral compass or the final nudge in Rajinikanth’s character arc. It’s also believed that the cameo wasn’t for this single movie alone—it could be a story seed for a future standalone project.
Behind the Scenes: Aamir and Lokesh Bond Over Creative Vision
To everyone’s surprise, Coolie has also ushered in a highly promising partnership of artists between Aamir Khan and Lokesh Kanagaraj. The two, sources say, developed a strong respect for one another during the course of the project. Their camaraderie has led to the exciting news of Aamir Khan and Lokesh Kanagaraj joining hands on a full-fledged superhero film following Kaithi 2.
A source from the team revealed:
“Aamir was in awe of Lokesh’s vision and storytelling style. Their discussion of cinema, character development, and Indian mythology led to this idea of an original superhero drama.“
Details about the superhero movie project are scarce at this point, but early reports suggest it will be something Aamir has never done before—and will explore grounded superhuman abilities drawn from Indian culture.
Why This Matters: Pan-India Integration Through Strategic Casting
In today’s age of cinema, such combinations reflect growing cohesion of Indian film industries. Rajinikanth is the heart of Tamil cinema, Lokesh Kanagaraj its brightest new-age director, and Aamir Khan a creative force in Bollywood. All three unite to provide a product that draws audiences across linguistic and geographical barriers.
Aamir’s cameo, though brief, widens the reach of the film and confirms Coolie’s position as a pan-Indian blockbuster. For fans, this is not just a cameo—it’s a cross-industry celebration.
What Fans Can Expect from Coolie
As word about Coolie keeps gathering pace, here’s what makes this film tick:
