Aamir to soon shoot for Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' in Jaipur: Report
What's the story
Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is reportedly joining the cast of the much-anticipated Tamil film Coolie, which stars superstar Rajinikanth.
The film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, marks a new collaboration between Rajinikanth and the director.
India Times, quoting Movie Scoop, recently reported that Khan will soon be shooting his scenes in Jaipur.
However, official confirmation of his involvement in the project is still awaited.
New venture
'Coolie' marks a potential Tamil cinema debut for Khan
If the reports are to be believed, Coolie will be Khan's debut in Tamil cinema.
The film's cast and crew have already reached Jaipur for the shoot, according to Movie Scoop.
Although details of Khan's role are still under wraps, it is speculated that he could be making a cameo appearance, much like Suriya's powerful role in Kanagaraj's 2022 blockbuster Vikram.
Film details
'Coolie' is an action-packed gangster drama
Coolie is an action-packed gangster drama with Rajinikanth playing a don. The story reportedly revolves around gold smuggling and will be high on mass moments.
The movie also features Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Upendra, and Nagarjuna in pivotal roles.
Notably, unlike Kanagaraj's previous films Leo and Vikram, Coolie is not set in the Loki Cinematic Universe.
The film is scheduled to release sometime in 2025.
Career progression
'Coolie' follows Rajinikanth's successful film 'Vettaiyan'
For Rajinikanth, Coolie will be his first release after the blockbuster action film Vettaiyan, which did well at the box office in October.
Vettaiyan addressed corruption in the education sector and starred Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, and Manju Warrier in lead roles.
Meanwhile, Khan is busy with another project, Sitaare Zameen Par, slated to release next year.
