Nagarjuna drops major spoilers about Coolie
Recently, the makers of Coolie confirmed that Aamir will play Dahaa in the film by dropping a monochrome picture of him smoking a pipe while dressed in a vest and jeans. Nagarjuna revealed that he does not have scenes with Aamir and said, 'Aamir and I don't have scenes together. We have two different chapters in the film. But I saw his work afterwards; his performance is brilliant. You'll see a new Aamir and be shocked.'
What's more, Nagarjuna also revealed that he plays the main antagonist, Simon, in Coolie and will face off Rajinikanth in the film. 'This was a fun experience because of how different it is from what I've done so far. Being the main antagonist, I had many scenes with Rajini sir. It's him against me!' said the actor. He did abstain from revealing anything about the film's story, which seems to revolve around gold smuggling if the promotional material is anything to go by.
