Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie received flak for its underwhelming content. The film features Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan in a special cameo. Aamir had earlier mentioned that he acted in the film out of respect for Rajinikanth and that he wasn’t even aware of the full story.
After the film’s OTT debut, a fake article went viral on social media claiming that Aamir was disappointed with the way Lokesh Kanagaraj designed his role and felt it had no real purpose. However, Tamil actor Vishnu Vishal, who shares a great rapport with Aamir, clarified that the Hindi actor never said anything negative about Coolie.
During the promotions of his upcoming film Aaryan, Vishnu Vishal said, “Aamir sir told me that he didn’t give any interview speaking about in a bad light. I sent the article screenshots to him, and he clarified the matter. He did Coolie purely out of admiration for Rajini sir and is happy to be part of it.”
