A Star-Studded Movie Night

On a lively Sunday evening, Aamir Khan turned his vanity van into a cozy cinema for the cast and crew of the upcoming action thriller Coolie. The group, including South Indian cinema heavyweights like Nagarjuna Akkineni, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, director Lokesh Kanagaraj, music composer Anirudh Ravichander, and Sun Pictures’ Kalanithi Maran, gathered to watch Aamir’s latest film, Sitaare Zameen Par, on YouTube. Aamir Khan Productions shared candid snapshots of the event, capturing the team’s camaraderie as they enjoyed the screening. Aamir was even spotted animatedly explaining a scene, adding a personal touch to the night. The Instagram post, captioned “You say movie night, and your gang pulls up,” quickly went viral, delighting fans across the country.

Sitaare Zameen Par: A Unique Release Strategy

Sitaare Zameen Par, a prequel to the beloved Taare Zameen Par (2007), stars Aamir Khan as a basketball coach training neurodivergent adults after a DUI conviction. The film, also featuring Genelia Deshmukh, hit theaters on June 20, 2025, and earned widespread praise. Breaking from tradition, Aamir chose to bypass OTT platforms and released the film on YouTube on August 1, 2025, for just ₹100 via a pay-per-view model. This bold move has sparked conversations about the future of digital streaming in India, making the film accessible to a broader audience while supporting the theater business.

The Coolie Connection

The movie night followed the high-energy trailer launch of Coolie, a Tamil-language action thriller directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, set to release on August 14, 2025. The film boasts a stellar cast, including Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj, with Aamir Khan in a special role as Dahaa. The trailer, packed with intense action and Rajinikanth’s signature charisma, has already set expectations sky-high. Aamir’s appearance at the Coolie audio launch in Chennai, dressed as his character, and his heartfelt gesture of touching Rajinikanth’s feet—only to be met with a warm hug—became a viral moment, showcasing the mutual respect between the two icons.

Fans Notice Rajinikanth’s Absence

While the movie night was a hit, fans couldn’t help but notice the absence of Coolie’s lead, Rajinikanth. Social media buzzed with comments like “Where is Thalaivar?” and “Superstar is missing!” Some speculated that Rajinikanth, who recently underwent a minor medical procedure, might have been resting, while others wondered if his absence was due to scheduling conflicts. Despite this, the event highlighted the strong bond among the Coolie team, with fans eagerly awaiting the film’s release.

A Cinematic Celebration

This unique gathering underscored the camaraderie in the Indian film industry, bridging Bollywood and South cinema. Aamir’s decision to host the Coolie crew for a Sitaare Zameen Par screening reflects his passion for storytelling and collaboration. As Coolie gears up for a box office clash with War 2, this movie night will remain a memorable moment for fans, even as they continue to speculate about Rajinikanth’s absence.
