Aamir Khan and Rajinikanth came together in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie. The film had a lot of hype, but Aamir’s cameo left fans divided. Some liked it, while others felt it had no impact. Now, a screenshot has gone viral online, claiming that Aamir himself called the role “a big mistake.” So, what’s the reality?
Did Aamir Khan Express Regret On Being Part Of Coolie?
The viral screenshot claimed Aamir told a portal, “I accepted the cameo for Rajini saab. To be honest, I still can’t figure out what my character was meant to do.”
It also suggested he was unhappy with the writing. He said, “It felt like I just walked in, said a line or two, and disappeared. There was no real purpose, no thought behind it. It was badly written.”
Another alleged quote read: “Itna reaction milega, socha nahi tha. But looking back, I understand why people were disappointed. The scene didn’t work – simple as that. It was a big mistake and one that I’ll be very careful about in the future.”
Fact Check
Well, these quotes spread quickly, but they have no verified source. The screenshot did not show the name of the website, date, or link. This suggests it is fake content made to troll Coolie.
In reality, Aamir Khan has not made any such statement. His team has also not confirmed anything. The viral post clearly looks fabricated.
Aamir Khan And Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Superhero Film Stalled
This rumour surfaced just as news broke about Aamir and Lokesh’s superhero film being shelved. As reported by Bollywood Hungama, the two had creative differences.
A source shared, “Aamir wanted Lokesh to completely invest himself in the superhero film, as the subject had scope to redefine Indian cinema. But Lokesh preferred working with improvisation during shoots.” Both parted ways on good terms, leaving the door open for future work together.
Aamir’s Upcoming Project
After Sitaare Zameen Par and Coolie, Aamir is focusing on his production projects. His next film Mere Raho (starring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi) will release in theatres on December 12, 2025. Directed by Sunil Pandey and produced by Mansoor Khan with Aamir, the romantic drama has already gained buzz.
The film is set against Japanese winters and showcases the Sapporo Snow Festival. Large portions were shot in Japan in early 2024.
