'Coolie': Unveiling Aamir Khan's 1st look

Aamir Khan's first look as Dahaa in the upcoming film Coolie is out.
Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Rajinikanth, the movie hits theaters on August 14.
Fun fact: Aamir took on this cameo without even reading the script—he just couldn't say no to working with Rajinikanth, as he shared during Sitaare Zameen Par promotions.

TL;DR

'Coolie'—not part of Lokesh Cinematic Universe

Coolie features a packed lineup with Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, plus Pooja Hegde and Shruti Haasan in key roles.
The music comes from Anirudh Ravichander, with Girish Gangadharan behind the camera and Anbariv handling stunts.
Produced by Sun Pictures, this film stands apart from Kanagaraj's usual Lokesh Cinematic Universe (so it's not connected to Kaithi or Vikram).
