Coolie is a 1983 Bollywood film directed by Manmohan Desai and starring Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor, Rati Agnihotri, Kader Khan, Suresh Oberoi and Puneet Issar. The film became famous even before its release when Amitabh Bachchan was critically injured while filming a fight scene with co-star Puneet Issar. After recovering from the accident, Bachchan resumed shooting and remarkably in the final cut of the film, the fight scene during which he is injured is frozen and a message appears marking this as the scene in which he was injured.
