Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj has revealed the surprising reason behind the leaked news of Aamir Khan’s secret role in “Coolie” and teased their upcoming “biggest actioner ever.”
The “Coolie” Cameo That Couldn’t Stay Hidden
The collaboration between Tamil filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj and Bollywood star Aamir Khan has been a topic of much discussion. Before their main project, Aamir Khan made a special appearance in Lokesh’s upcoming Rajinikanth-led film, “Coolie.”
Lokesh and his team had initially tried to keep Aamir’s involvement under wraps, even shooting his scenes discreetly. However, the news was too significant to contain for long.
Lokesh explained that Aamir himself eventually called, expressing discomfort about denying his involvement while promoting another film. Aamir asked if he could openly confirm his role, leading Lokesh to greenlight the official announcement and the release of Aamir’s character poster.
Working with Mr. Perfectionist
Lokesh shared his experience collaborating with Aamir Khan, drawing interesting parallels to his work with veteran actor Kamal Haasan. He noted that both stars are meticulous and often have their own suggestions for takes.
According to Lokesh, if he suggests a correction, Aamir, much like Kamal Haasan, might also offer an alternative. He finds that they both strive for perfection and often ask for retakes, even when the director is satisfied with a shot.
Aamir Khan reportedly worked on “Coolie” for just five to six days, yet he consistently asked for an extra take for his “own satisfaction.” Lokesh happily agreed, acknowledging the joy of watching such dedicated performers.
Their Next Big Project: A Global Superhero Saga
Looking ahead, Lokesh confirmed that his next film after “Kaithi 2” will most likely be with Aamir Khan. He described it as a Hindi film, but one designed for a global audience, not just India.
Lokesh expressed excitement about their discussions, stating that their collaboration could introduce a new genre. He hinted that the film would be “the biggest action film” and could also be classified as a “superhero film,” a concept he had written long ago.
- Aamir Khan’s cameo in “Coolie” was initially kept secret but leaked due to Aamir’s own desire for transparency.
- Lokesh Kanagaraj compared working with Aamir Khan to working with Kamal Haasan, highlighting their shared “perfectionist” approach.
- Their upcoming film is envisioned as a Hindi-language global superhero action film, potentially the “biggest actioner ever.”
Fans are now eagerly anticipating not only “Coolie” but also the groundbreaking superhero collaboration set to redefine action cinema.
