Aamir Khan revealed as Dahaa in ‘Coolie’

The excitement for Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is steadily rising as the release date approaches. After dropping the first single and exclusive images, the makers have now revealed a brand-new poster featuring Aamir Khan. The Bollywood superstar is introduced as ‘Dahaa’ in the movie, adding to the hype surrounding this action-packed entertainer.

The official announcement featured the caption: Introducing AamirKhan as Dahaa, from the world of Coolie. Releasing worldwide on IMAX from August 14. The first-look poster showcases Aamir Khan in a stylish avatar, smoking a pipe and exuding a mysterious charm.

There has been a lot of speculation around Aamir Khan’s role in Coolie, with rumours suggesting that his character, although appearing for only about 10 minutes, will have a significant impact on the storyline. Many believe this could signal his entry into Lokesh Kanagaraj’s expanding cinematic universe (LCU).

Coolie features a powerful cast including Rajinikanth in the lead, alongside Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra Rao, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, and Soubin Shahir. The film is produced by Kalanithi Maran under the Sun Pictures banner.

Slated for release on August 14, 2025, Coolie will hit theatres in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. It is expected to clash at the box office with War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, making it one of the biggest cinematic face-offs of the year.
