Rajinikanth didn’t just drop his usual superstar charm, he got real about something close to his heart at the Coolie launch event in Chennai. Talking about Aamir Khan’s cameo in the film, he went beyond the usual praise and gave a shoutout that felt like it came from a place of deep respect and regard, there are other Khans in the industry but Aamir Khan stands the tallest for him.
Rajinikanth’s Honest Tribute: Aamir Khan’s Perfectionism Sets Him Apart from Bollywood’s Biggest Names
Rajinikanth joked about how Aamir takes forever to sign onto a project “two years just to say yes”—and the crowd cracked up. But behind that joke was a serious nod to Aamir’s legendary perfectionism. He said something simple but powerful: in the South, Kamal Haasan is that perfectionist. In the North, it’s Aamir Khan.
Then came the moment that made everyone stop and listen. Rajini said, “You have Salman Khan on one side, Shah Rukh Khan on the other, and Aamir Khan stands tall among them all.” No drama, no ego, just a genuine salute from one legend to another.
Aamir Khan Listens Quietly as Rajinikanth Salutes His Hard Work and Respect in Bollywood
Aamir stood there quietly, dressed as his character, soaking it in. No big speech, no grand gesture just two giants of Indian cinema, showing respect for each other in a way only true artists can.
This wasn’t about box office battles or celebrity wars. It was about honouring the grind, the choices, and the crazy dedication it takes to be great. Aamir Khan might keep things low-key compared to the others, but Rajinikanth’s words made it clear: that quiet grind? It’s what makes him stand tall.
In an industry full of noise, this moment felt honest and real—a legend tipping his hat to another, pure and simple.
