Bollywood’s perfectionist Aamir Khan is ready to surprise audiences with a fiery new persona in the highly anticipated action saga Coolie. Headlined by South Indian cinema legend Rajinikanth and helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film is being touted as a high-octane spectacle. On Thursday, the creators lifted the curtain on Aamir’s character look, and the internet exploded with enthusiasm.
First Glimpse of ‘Dahaa’ Leaves Fans Hypnotised
Sun Pictures, the production house behind Coolie, revealed Aamir’s look through their official social media handle on X (formerly Twitter). Khan is introduced as ‘Dahaa’—a brooding, power-packed personality dressed in a rugged dark vest. Calmly smoking a pipe, sporting a gold watch, his steely gaze and intense screen aura suggest a man of dangerous resolve. Though billed as a cameo appearance, Aamir’s presence feels larger than life, and many believe he could deliver a twist that shifts the narrative entirely.
Social Media Buzz: Fans in Frenzy
Fans wasted no time in expressing their amazement and joy. Enthusiastic posts flooded platforms, with comments celebrating Aamir’s association with director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Admirers described it as a dream team-up, with one fan highlighting the merger of North and South Indian cinematic powerhouses. The electrifying reactions have elevated expectations for Coolie, especially with the teaser showing Aamir in such a thunderous new light.
One predicted that the movie was a surefire blockbuster. "1000 crore written on the cards, congrats Kollywood! First Rajini, next Nagarjuna, now Aamir. Full trust in Loki to pull this off!" the comment read.
Another quipped, "If Lahore 1947 releases this year, we should declare this Bollywood year as Aamir's year."
Another gushed, "#AamirKhan all set to reign his supremacy once again, fantabulous outstanding is an understatement. What a versatile actor."
A Star-Studded Line-Up Raises the Stakes
Beyond Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan, Coolie features a stellar supporting cast. Prominent actors like Nagarjuna, Kannada star Upendra, and Shruthi Haasan bring additional weight to the ensemble. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, already a fan favorite for gripping action dramas like Kaithi, Master, and Vikram, is expected to deliver yet another blockbuster. With a jaw-dropping production budget of ₹375 crore, the film ranks among the most ambitious projects ever attempted in Indian cinema.
Multilingual Release and a Box Office Showdown
Set to release theatrically on August 14, 2025—just in time for India’s Independence Day—Coolie will be available in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. The trilingual launch aims to capture viewers across the country, uniting audiences from all corners. But the film won’t have a solo run. It’s poised to clash with YRF’s War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani. The simultaneous release of these two mega-productions is expected to ignite one of the year’s most heated box office battles.
A Cultural Crossover Moment
Coolie not only promises intense action and high production values but also symbolizes a bridging of regional divides in Indian cinema. The collaboration of North and South Indian stars under one dynamic director signals a broader trend of pan-Indian storytelling. As anticipation builds and more updates are awaited, Aamir Khan’s entry as Dahaa has already ensured that Coolie remains firmly in the spotlight.
