Did Aamir Khan call the exhibitors and distributors to give more shows to Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' over 'War 2'? Actor's team says 'Post Sitaare Zameen Par...'
There were reports that Bollywood star Aamir Khan called the exhibitors and distributors to give more shows to Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' over 'War 2' in India, especially in multiplex chains of PVR-Inox. But how true is this?
Spokesperson of Aamir Khan Productions clarified, 'Neither Aamir Khan, nor anyone from his team is involved in the distribution of Coolie. Mr Khan has not made any calls to any exhibitor or distributor. His cameo in the film is purely a gesture of his bond with director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajinikanth. Everyone at AKP, especially Aamir Khan, is thrilled with the success of Sitaare Zameen Par's YouTube release and is overjoyed with the response it has received.'
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
Sun Pictures has detonated a cinematic bomb with the grand unveiling of the official trailer for 'Coolie – The Powerhouse', a ₹400 crore extravaganza that promises mass mayhem and entertainment. Helmed by the king of new-age mass cinema, Lokesh Kanagaraj, the trailer redefines what it means to be a commercial cinema.
The trailer roars with high-voltage drama, stylized mayhem, whistle-worthy dialogues, Rajinikanth's swag, mannerism, Nagarjuna's spine-chilling villainous act, Aamir Khan's stylish and brand new avatar, and an undercurrent of rage, rebellion, and redemption — all underscored by Anirudh Ravichander's electrifying score that sends shivers down the spine.
From the opening shot itself, Rajinikanth commands the screen with a never-seen-before swagger and storm, his vintage charisma fused with a ruthless gravitas, reinvented under Kanagaraj's gritty lens. Nagarjuna, with his brooding menace and silken violence, stands tall as a force to be reckoned with while Shruti Haasan creates mystery with her character.
As the trailer spirals through its whirlwind of barrel-blazing action sequences, volcanic confrontations, whistle-worthy monologues, and explosive visuals, it becomes clear — Coolie is not just a film. It's a full-throttle cinematic juggernaut designed to incinerate the box office.
With an ensemble cast featuring Sathyaraj, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Shruti Haasan, the film blends a true pan-India casting approach with mass elevation, balancing gritty realism with fan-service spectacle.
