A lot of Tamil fans were commenting on her Instagram, asking her to watch the Coolie song.' The actress added, 'Monica was one of the toughest songs I've shot due to the conditions. It was outdoors, and it was really hot and humid. I looked unfazed, but the steps were heavy. The frames were wide, my hair was loose, and I had to look like I was not sweating even a little bit. It was physically draining and exhausting. I tanned so much at the end of five days.' Coolie Box-office When asked whether Aamir Khan's cameo will help Coolie in the Hindi markets, Bala replied, 'Certainly. I think that was the idea, I think. Because Aamir Khan was saying that was the idea, they had earlier wanted to cast even Kamal Haasan in Aamir Khan's role, but it eventually went to Aamir Khan because they made sure that Nagarjuna from Tollywood, Upendra from Karnataka, Soubin from Kerala, so Aamir Khan from Hindi, like, they have one star each from each major industry.
