The next big thing from Kollywood is Coolie, headlined by Superstar Rajinikanth. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film features Thalaivar in a grey-shaded, intense avatar. Breaking away from the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), Coolie is set in an entirely new world, promising a fresh cinematic experience for audience.
Following the positive reception to the first single Chikitu, the makers have now dropped a high-energy dance number titled Monica. Featuring the ever-ravishing Pooja Hegde, the song is catchy and vibrant, with Anirudh Ravichander’s signature peppy beats setting the tone. Monica track is sure to amplify the buzz around this big-ticket entertainer.
After her appearances in the special numbers from Rangasthalam and F3, Pooja Hegde once again leaves her mark with Coolie’s latest song. It will be interesting to see how Lokesh Kanagaraj weaves this massy, foot-tapping track into the narrative.
The song is set in a port area, where we see Pooja Hegde dancing alongside Malayalam actor-director Soubin Shahir. It is speculated that Soubin’s character is part of Nagarjuna’s gang. What’s even more striking is that Soubin Shahir has perfectly matched Pooja Hegde’s grace with his impressive dance moves.
The lyrics were penned by Vishnu Edavan, while Subhashini and Anirudh brought the song to life with their energetic vocals. The movie is slated for a grand release on August 14, 2025 clashing with Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2. Backed by Sun Pictures, Coolie also stars Aamir Khan, Sathyaraj, Upendra, and Shruti Hassan in pivotal roles.
