Super Star Rajinikanth\'s action entertainer Coolie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj hit the screens today across the world. The film which released amidst huge expectations, failed to live up to the expectations.\r\nIt is known that the film featured Mr.Perfectionist Aamir Khan in a special role. However the cameo ended in a big disappointment. Now it is coming out that the role was first offered to Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan, but he couldn\'t do it due to his busy schedule for his upcoming film King.\r\nNetizens reacted in the following way after watching Aamir Khan\'s cameo.\r\nSo SRK really dodged a bullet by rejecting this cameo\'. It implied that the cameo was not worthy of a star of the Khans\' calibre. In the comments section, most agreed that not only was the cameo unmemorable, but Aamir was completely wasted in it. \"Big escape. Worst cameo per reviews,\" read one comment. Another echoed, \"Yeah, made a (clown emoji) out of him.\"\r\nMany wondered why Aamir even agreed to do the film. One fan wrote, \"The last 15 mins were UNBEARABLE. Why did he even accept to do this cameo? I was so done with the fight sequences. The movie by itself was super annoying. Liked the first half. Second half was super random.\" Another added, \"Just came back from the FDFS of the Tamil version. Believe me, Aamir was wasted like anything. Dont know why even agreed to do this cameo. It was laugh-worthy.\"\r\nSome Aamir fans put the blame on director Lokesh Kanagaraj, recalling that even Sanjay Dutt was not utilised properly in his previous film, Leo. \"Believe it, Loki cannot use Bollywood actors; he only casts them to gain hype,\" complained one fan.\r\nA few fans differed from the majority opinion, however, saying they liked seeing a different side of Aamir. \"It was an unnecessary cameo, but it was pretty fun. Least it lent to a really great flashback sequence with a de-aged Rajini. Was cute hearing Aamir speak Tamizh too, and pretty well at that,\" wrote one.\r\n<div></div>
