One day to go, and fans are waiting with bated breath for the release of the highly anticipated film of the year, Coolie, starring Rajinikanth. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film is slated to hit the screens on August 14 and will clash with YRF's spy thriller War 2, starring Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan. The Thalaivaar’s film also features a special cameo by none other than Aamir Khan. Ahead of its release, Coolie is already creating havoc at the box office. Let’s take a look at the cast fees, especially that of the Bollywood superstar.
How much Aamir Khan charged for Coolie?
Several reports are making rounds on the internet regarding casts' remuneration. As reported by Deccan Chronicle, the biggest paycheck unsurprisingly goes to the Superstar himself, Rajinikanth, who reportedly received a massive Rs 200 crore for his role in Coolie. Initially, his remuneration was set at Rs 150 crore, but with the surge in advance ticket sales and the film’s growing hype, the amount was revised upwards.
Adding a surprising twist to the story is Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan’s cameo in the film. While earlier rumours claimed Aamir had charged Rs 20 crore for his brief appearance, sources close to the actor have clarified to India Today, that he actually did not take any fee. Instead, Aamir accepted the role purely out of love and respect for Rajinikanth.

The film also features other brilliant actors with major paychecks. Nagarjuna Akkineni, who plays the character Simon, was allegedly paid a handsome sum of Rs 10 crore for his role. Similarly, Shruti Haasan earned Rs 4 crore, while veteran actor Sathyaraj, known widely for his role as Katappa in the Baahubali series, reportedly received Rs 5 crore. Kannada star Upendra matched Sathyaraj’s fee with a Rs 5 crore paycheck.
Soubin Shahir, who is a well-known Malayalam actor and is all set for his Tamil debut. He plays Dayal in Coolie, was reportedly paid a respectable Rs 1 crore.
Behind the camera, director Lokesh Kanagaraj commands a remarkable Rs 50 crore for helming Coolie. Known for his blockbuster hits, Kanagaraj’s collaboration with Rajinikanth marks a huge milestone.
