Lokesh Kanagaraj Reveals How Aamir Khan’s Secret Role in Coolie Was Leaked; Teases Upcoming Superhero Film: "It’ll Be the Biggest Actioner Ever"
Renowned filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj has finally spoken out about the much-speculated leak of Aamir Khan’s secret role in the upcoming movie Coolie. In a recent interview, the director expressed his disappointment at how the news surfaced prematurely and took fans by surprise. However, he also used the opportunity to tease a much larger cinematic project — a superhero film with Aamir Khan that he claims will be "India’s biggest action film ever."
Aamir Khan’s Role in Coolie – How It Got Leaked
According to Lokesh, the leak occurred during the early test shooting phase when footage was shared internally for VFX and continuity reviews. "Someone from the post-production crew must’ve recorded a snippet and shared it outside. It spread like wildfire,” he explained.
Aamir Khan was meant to make a surprise entry in Coolie, which stars Sarfarosh-era vibes mixed with modern action sequences — a signature Lokesh touch. The leak disrupted plans for a grand reveal and left both the filmmaker and the production team disappointed.
The Superhero Project with Aamir Khan
Despite the setback, Lokesh is clearly excited about what comes next. He confirmed that he and Aamir are collaborating on a massive superhero film, which has been quietly in development. "It's a genre Aamir has never done before. The action, the story, the character depth — this one’s going to shake the industry," Lokesh teased.
Though tight-lipped about the plot, he hinted that the movie will feature groundbreaking stunt work, visual effects on par with Hollywood standards, and a strong Indian emotional core.
Why This Film Could Redefine Indian Superhero Cinema
With Lokesh Kanagaraj’s mastery of action (seen in Kaithi and Leo) and Aamir Khan’s perfectionism and box office pull, this upcoming project is already drawing comparisons with global superhero franchises. What makes this especially noteworthy is the emphasis on original storytelling grounded in Indian mythology and science.
