The Monica song featuring Pooja Hegde and Soubin Shahir from Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s much-awaited Coolie is driving youth crazy. From the lyrics, it is clear that the lively dance number is a tribute to the Italian actress Monica Bellucci. Lokesh Kanagaraj and Anirudh have been admiring the actress for a long time, and they showcased their adoration in the dance number.
Now the song has reached Monica Bellucci herself. The track was sent to the Italian actress at the Cannes Film Festival, who also reportedly loved it. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Pooja Hegde was told about Monica Bellucci’s reaction to the former’s Tamil song. The Retro actress was left stunned upon hearing this.
Pooja Hegde said, “Oh, really? Wow. That’s the biggest compliment ever. I’ve actually always loved Monica Bellucci. She was so iconic in her own way for her persona. She didn’t really need to do much. At the same time, she had a very unique style and a unique voice in terms of how she carried herself. So it was a big feat. But I’m glad. I’m glad she liked it.”
Pooja Hegde also added that fans were asking Monica Bellucci to watch Coolie song by commenting on her Instagram. In the same interview, the actress also reacted to Lokesh’s comments about placing the song for commercial reasons.
“For a director like him to say that, and put their money where their mouth is by hiring me for that job, and for it to help the film, that’s very exciting for me. It tells me I can contribute to tickets, and I bring value. And these are the people whose opinion I should worry about, not so much anyone else’s,” remarked Pooja Hegde.
