Video: Aamir Khan Touches Rajinikanth’s Feet at ‘Coolie’ Trailer Launch, Fans Praise His Humility
In an industry where egos often dominate the spotlight, moments of genuine humility tend to stand out—and that’s exactly what happened during the grand trailer launch of Coolie, the much-awaited film starring South megastar Rajinikanth. Held in Chennai, the star-studded event drew attention not just for the film itself, but for a heartfelt moment between two of Indian cinema’s biggest icons: Aamir Khan and Rajinikanth.
Aamir Khan, who attended the event as a special guest, stunned fans and attendees alike when he bowed down to touch Rajinikanth’s feet on stage—a traditional Indian gesture of deep respect. The video of this touching exchange quickly went viral on social media, drawing admiration from fans across the country. But what made the moment even more beautiful was Rajinikanth’s reaction: he stopped Aamir, pulled him up, and embraced him with warmth and affection, showing the mutual respect they share.
Interestingly, Aamir Khan isn’t just showing up as a guest—he’s also playing a cameo role in Coolie. He even showed up at the event in the same look as his character in the film, creating buzz around his short but impactful appearance. The film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is being touted as a gritty gangster drama, with Rajinikanth leading the cast in a powerful role.
In an interview with Zoom, Aamir Khan revealed how he came on board the project without even hearing the script. “When Lokesh offered me a cameo in Coolie, I said yes immediately. This is Rajni sir’s film—I’m ready to do anything in it,” he shared. That level of enthusiasm speaks volumes about the respect Aamir holds for Rajinikanth and the cinematic universe Kanagaraj is creating.
Apart from Rajinikanth and Aamir, the film also boasts an impressive ensemble cast featuring Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Soubin Shahir. The multilingual film is set to release in theatres on August 14, 2025, in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada.
The moment between Aamir and Rajinikanth has left fans emotional and inspired, reminding everyone that true greatness lies not just in fame or box office numbers—but in grace, respect, and the way legends lift each other up. As anticipation for Coolie builds, this heartfelt gesture has already made the film’s journey a memorable one.
