How much did Aamir Khan charge for his role in Coolie?

As per reports, Aamir, who is making a cameo appearance in Rajinikanth's starrer, charged ₹20 crore for nearly 20 minutes. The film will mark his debut in the Tamil film industry. During an event, the actor shared that he accepted the offer without even listening to the script. “Lokesh came to meet me. I didn’t know why he was coming to meet me. He said, ‘It’s for Coolie. I want you to do a role in the film.’ The moment I got to know it’s Coolie and Rajini Sir’s film… after many, many years, probably for the first time, I have said yes to a film without hearing the script, without hearing anything," Aamir shared.

Coolie will hit the theatres on August 14, clashing with War 2.
