Imagine—a film dominated by Rajinikanth's larger-than-life presence, and featuring a brief yet explosive cameo by Taare Zameen Par's Aamir Khan in the final 15-minute scene. I bet it would be a high-voltage jolt of energy fans won't forget anytime soon. Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that last 15 minutes of Coolie will be filled with massy, action-packed moments between Aamir and Rajinikanth. Aamir will enter the narrative with a bang, leading to one of the most intense face-offs in recent times. Sources close to the production revealed, ' Coolie will feature a power-packed action and confrontation sequence Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan. Known for his perfectionism, Bollywood actor had 10-day shoot schedule for Coolie for the scene that is beyond a mere cameo. The two icons will share screen space in a mass-loaded face-off, filled with intense dialogues, and gripping action.' The murmurs on the sets were that a high-voltage 15-minute scene would be described as one of the film's biggest highlights. The entire climax of the film has been shot in Rajasthan. When these two titans will collide onscreen, it won't be just a scene but a celebration! Rajinikanth teams up for the first time with director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Coolie is one of 2025's most anticipated films. Slated for release on August 14, Coolie is made on a massive Rs 350 crore budget and has locked record-breaking pre-release deals. The Tamil film is positioned to dominate box offices this year, on Independence Day weekend. Is Coolie connected to LCU? Lokesh Kanagaraj previously confirmed that Coolie is a standalone film and will not be part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). Coolie gets a new title for Hindi version Rajinikanth's Coolie is reportedly title, Majdoor in Hindi. The makers had to change the name of the film for Hindi version as 3 Bollywood films already have Coolie as their title- Amitabh Bachchan's Coolie (1983), Varun Dhawan's Coolie No. 1 (2020) and Govinda's Coolie No. 1 (1995). Chikitu Song Composed by Anirudh Ravichander and lyrics by Arivu, Chikitu is high on beats and a tribute to Rajinikanth fans.

Veteran Bollywood actor Govinda set social media abuzz after unveiling a striking new look that caught fans by surprise. The 61-year-old star, who has been largely absent from the silver screen in recent years, appeared in a sleek black-and-white ensemble, complete with oversized sunglasses and a pencil moustache, a noticeable departure from his familiar style.

One user wrote, 'Govinda jaisa hero koi doosra nahi hai. Only one brand.' Others speculated that his new look might be tied to an upcoming film project, while some were even left wondering if the man in the videos was a lookalike rather than the actor himself.

There was a time in the '90s when he delivered back-to-back hits, and everything he touched seemed to turn to gold. His filmography includes beloved titles such as Coolie No. 1, Dulhe Raja, Raja Babu, Partner, among several others. However, since the mid-2000s, Govinda's career has seen a significant decline, and he has all but disappeared from mainstream cinema. His wife, Sunita Ahuja, recently spoke out, blaming the 'wrong circle' around him, people she indirectly described as sycophants, for playing a key role in his professional downfall. Govinda was also in the news earlier this year after he accidentally shot himself. Following his discharge from the hospital, he addressed the media at a press conference held at his Mumbai residence. 'Initially, I couldn't believe it had happened,' he said. His last film appearance was in Rangeela Raja, which was released in 2019.

Govinda is ‘nasamajh', Pahlaj Nihalani says actor surrounds himself with pandits: ‘David Dhawan poisoned his mind'
Jun 21, 2025 06:09 AM IST Pahlaj Nihalani opened up about the downfall of Govinda's career and attributed the actor's bad company as a major factor. In an interview with Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Pahlaj said that Govinda listened to a lot of people in the industry who did not mean well for him and surrounded himself with pundits. (Also read: Anil Kapoor is 'jhootha no 1' says Pahlaj Nihalani, slams him for calling Andaz B-grade film: He was desperate to do it) Pahlaj Nihalani talked about Govinda's downfall in an interview. Speaking about Govinda's downfall, Pahlaj began, 'Govinda was an all-rounder. He handled his career very well, but because of his 'weakness', he tends to trust people easily, which is why this happened. The atmosphere around him isn't good, that's why he wanders away. He keeps the company of pandits and astrologers, fortune tellers and the atmosphere he has around him and what he believes in. But people don't take those conversations seriously. These types of conversations and this aura are extremely damaging, which has affected his career in the film industry.' 'David Dhawan ne uske mind me zeher daal diya' He went on to add, 'He was a single-screen hero, and the time when multiplexes came, people stopped his films from releasing. Jab Govinda ka time aaya Partner ke baad toh uski filmein jitni aayi, logon ne usko neecha dikhaaya aur shows chalne nahi diye. David Dhawan uske saath kaam kar raha tha aur David Dhawan ne uske mind me zeher daal diya tha against me. Kyuki unko lagta tha main ne paisa kamaya, jabki meri picture sey unka naam hua (After Partner, many of his films were not released or stalled. David Dhawan was working with him that time and he poisoned his mind against me. He thought I was making money but did not see he also made his name with my films).' About Govinda's films Govinda had a string of hit films at the box office in the 90s, including Raja Babu, Coolie No. 1, Hero No. 1, and Sajaan Chale Sasural. However, his films underperformed during the early 2000s. Now his son, Yashvardhan Ahuja, is all set to make his Bollywood debut soon with Sai Rajesh's film.
