The trailer for Rajinikanth's Coolie is finally out, and fans can't get enough. The trailer for the upcoming mass action flick was launched with a star-studded event in Chennai, with a special appearance from Bollywood legend Aamir Khan, who is making his Tamil debut in the film. The actor arrived on stage to thunder applause and went over to Rajinikanth and tried to touch his feet to show respect, but the superstar stopped him and wrapped his arms around Aamir Khan, and they shared a warm hug, much to the delight of the audience and the rest of the cast.
Aamir Khan’s Dahaa gets a fiery introduction
Aamir Khan will be playing the role of Dahaa in the movie, while his role will be an extended cameo. He got our first glimpse of Dahaa in action in the trailer, where we saw him dressed in black and firing two machine guns. Initially, it was reported that the character would only appear in the film's climax, but director Lokesh Kanagaraj has teased in recent interviews that his appearance has been peppered throughout the film, and fans will not be disappointed.
30 Years after Aatank Hi Aatank, the duo reunites for Coolie
This is not the first time Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan shared the screen; they acted together in the 1995 gangster film Aatank Hi Aatank, which was directed by Dilip Shankar and was an adaptation of The Godfather. So it seems fitting that the two reunite on screen for another gangster movie 30 years later.
