Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan
The city of Chennai witnessed nothing short of a festival on Saturday with the trailer launch of Coolie. The makers organised a grand event to unveil the trailer of Rajinikanth’s next film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The launch was attended by the cast and crew, including actor Aamir Khan, who has a cameo in the film.
Aamir Khan made a stylish entrance at the event, sporting the same rugged look he has in the film. He was seen with tattoos on his arms and wore a black tank top with denims, just like his character in the movie. The crowd erupted in cheers as he walked into the auditorium for the launch event. Superstar Rajinikanth entered last to a thunderous welcome. Dressed in a black kurta and denims, he was greeted with a standing ovation. While Shruti Haasan, Anirudh Ravichander, and Lokesh Kanagaraj touched his feet in respect, actors Nagarjuna and Sathyaraj greeted him with warm handshakes.
However, the sweetest moment came when Aamir Khan stepped forward to touch Rajinikanth’s feet. The senior actor gently stopped him and instead pulled him in for a warm, affectionate hug. This mutual display of respect between two icons truly won hearts.
