The wait is finally over. Once again, Rajikanth has dominated the big screen. Coolie, one of the most awaited films of 2025, opened in theaters on August 14. Cinema halls were filled with a joyous atmosphere as fans flocked to the firs-day, first-show. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film clashed at the box office with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s War 2.
While Rajinikanth’s energy lit up the screen, it was Aamir Khan’s cameo that took audiences by surprise. Khan’s appearance as “Dahaa” has become one of the most talked-about moments of the film. Many fans believe it to be his best entry in years.
Khan’s role lasts less than 10 minutes. Yet, it has left a massive impact. He appears as the final boss in the story, a character who has been searching for Rajinikanth’s Coolie for a long time.
A Villain with Comic Charm
Though introduced as a menacing figure, Dahaa is not without humour. Because of previous incidents, a large portion of his persona is in awe of Rajinikanth. Viewers have found the face-off much more captivating as a result of this unexpected comedic undertone.
