Bollywood’s “Mr. Perfectionist” Aamir Khan is known for his careful film choices, but even he admits that sometimes things don’t go as planned. Recently, Aamir opened up about his much-criticized cameo in Coolie, calling it a “big mistake” that left audiences disappointed.
Why Aamir Did the Cameo in the First Place
Aamir revealed that he accepted the cameo only out of respect for superstar Rajinikanth. However, when he arrived on set, he wasn’t sure what his role was meant to convey. “It felt like I just walked on, said a line or two, and disappeared,” he admitted.
In short, there was no proper buildup, no meaningful impact, and according to him, the scene was badly written.
What Went Wrong with the Film and the Scene
The film itself faced a lukewarm box office response.
Harsh reviews added fuel to the fire.
Aamir’s cameo, instead of being a highlight, became a forgettable blink-and-miss appearance.
He clarified that he wasn’t involved in the creative process and had “no idea how the final product would turn out.” The trolling that followed, he said, completely caught him off guard.
Aamir’s Honest Reflection
Looking back, Aamir understands why fans were disappointed: “The scene didn’t work — simple as that.”
He further added:
“It was a big mistake, and one I’ll be more careful about in the future.”
This level of honesty is rare in Bollywood, but it shows why Aamir continues to hold the reputation of being the industry’s most thoughtful actor.
