The buzz around Coolie, the much-anticipated Rajinikanth starrer directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has reached new heights after veteran actor Nagarjuna spilled some major spoilers about the film’s ensemble cast — including his own role and that of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan.
In a recent media interaction, Nagarjuna revealed that Coolie isn’t just another mass entertainer — it’s a multi-layered action drama that will “shock and surprise” fans. “People are expecting Rajini sir to carry the entire film, but wait till you see what Aamir and I are doing. You will be shocked,” he said with a knowing smile.
According to Nagarjuna, his role in Coolie is that of a morally grey antagonist with a deeply personal connection to Rajinikanth’s character. “It’s not your typical villain. It’s emotional, it’s conflicted, and it will make you question who the real hero is,” he teased, adding that the narrative plays heavily with themes of betrayal, justice, and redemption.
Even more intriguing is the revelation about Aamir Khan’s character. While the production house has kept his involvement under wraps, Nagarjuna confirmed that Aamir plays a crucial role in the second half of the film — one that flips the entire storyline on its head. “He enters when you least expect it and changes everything. It’s one of those cameos that turns into the soul of the story,” he said.
Coolie marks the first collaboration between Rajinikanth, Aamir Khan, and Nagarjuna, making it one of the most star-studded South Indian films in recent memory. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his gritty, high-concept action films like Kaithi and Vikram, the film is reportedly set in a fictional port city and draws heavily from the 1983 Rajinikanth cult classic of the same name.
Nagarjuna also praised Rajinikanth’s energy on set. “He’s 73, but once the camera rolls, you’d think he’s 30. His timing, his power — it’s unmatched,” he said.
While fans are thrilled about these revelations, many are now wondering if the makers will unveil an official teaser featuring all three stars. For now, the mystery surrounding Coolie only deepens, but one thing is clear — the film is shaping up to be a cinematic event like no other.
Coolie is expected to hit theaters in early 2026, with post-production and visual effects already underway. Stay tuned — the hype train has only just left the s
