Bollywood star Aamir Khan is making headlines again! After his successful return to acting with Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir is now all set to surprise fans with a special appearance in superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming movie ‘Coolie’.
On Thursday, the makers revealed Aamir Khan’s first look in the film. He plays a character named ‘Dahaa’. In the stylish black-and-white poster released on X (formerly Twitter), Aamir is seen in a serious side profile, wearing a black vest, glasses, and smoking a pipe. His look is bold and rugged — very different from his recent roles.
The caption with the poster read:
“Introducing #AamirKhan as Dahaa, from the world of #Coolie. #Coolie is all set to dominate IMAX screens worldwide from August 14th.”

Why Aamir Said Yes Without Reading the Script
Aamir recently confirmed that he is doing a cameo role in Coolie. In an interview with Zoom, he said:
“I really enjoyed doing it. I’m a big fan of Rajini sir. I didn’t even ask for the script. When director Lokesh Kanagaraj told me it’s Rajini sir’s film and he wants me in it, I said, ‘Done. I’m doing it. Whatever it is, I’m in.’”
He didn’t share more details about his character, keeping it a surprise.
