Rajinikanth's fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Coolie, with the countdown to the film in full swing. The film features a star-studded cast, and one of the highlights is Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who has already grabbed attention with his intense avatar as Dahaa in the trailer. There have been reports that the actor has charged ₹20 crore for his cameo. However, a report in India Today has now confirmed his actual fee for the film.
Aamir Khan's fees for Coolie
Aamir is set to have a 15-minute role in Lokesh Kanagaraj's film. Sources close to the actor told the publication that Aamir hasn't charged anything for the film. "Aamir Khan has a lot of love and respect for Rajinikanth and the team of Coolie. He instantly said yes to the project without even hearing the complete narration. This cameo is his way of showing his love to the team, and he has not charged anything for his role," the source said.
Earlier, during the audio and trailer launch event of the film in Hyderabad, Aamir revealed why he said yes to the film, stating, "Lokesh came to meet me. I didn’t know why he was coming to meet me. He said, ‘It’s for Coolie. I want you to do a role in the film.’ The moment I got to know it’s Coolie and Rajini Sir’s film… after many, many years, probably for the first time, I have said yes to a film without hearing the script, without hearing anything.”
