In a recent interview, Nagarjuna Akkineni opened up about his next big release Coolie, where he is sharing screen space with actors like Rajinikanth, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj and more.
Talking about his scenes with Thalaiva, he said, “This was a fun experience because of how different it is from what I've done so far. Being the main antagonist, I had many scenes with Rajinikanth sir... It's him against me..”
Does Nagarjuna have any scenes with Aamir Khan?
The Kuberaa actor was further asked if he has any specific scenes with Bollywood actor Aamir Khan in the movie. For the uninitiated, the latter is also a part of the movie and makes a special cameo appearance in it.
Spilling the tea, he said, "Aamir Khan and I don't have scenes together. We have two different chapters in the film.. But I saw his work afterwards.. his performance is brilliant. You'll see a new Aamir and be shocked…"
When Nagarjuna revealed he made Lokesh come back and read script 6-7 times
Previously, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Nagarjuna opened up about his first meeting with Lokesh Kanagaraj, who was unsure if the actor would agree to play an antagonist.
However, things changed the minute the filmmaker narrated the script, and halfway through, Nagarjuna was completely hooked on it.
He added, "He then told me it’s okay if I don’t like the script, we could have a cup of tea, talk, and he would leave as is. Then Lokesh narrated the script, and halfway through, I was hooked. I made him come back 6-7 times to listen to it."
For the unversed, Coolie releases in theaters on August 14, 2025.
