*Aamir Khan*'s cameo in *Coolie* is linked to *Lokesh Kanagaraj*'s revived superhero film *Irumbu Kai Mayavi*, initially written for Suriya but shelved due to budget and experience constraints. Lokesh later reworked the script and brought Aamir on board in 2023. The film will begin shooting post Kaithi 2 in late 2026, targeting a 2027 release.
