Rajinikanth's 'Coolie': Second Track 'Monica' Drops, Pooja Hegde, Soubin Shahir Steal The Show

It wouldn't be wrong to say that Rajinikanth is one of the most loved actors in the subcontinent. He has successfully captured the hearts of billions and ruled over them for more than three decades now, and his charm seems to be everlasting. As the buzz builds around his upcoming movie Coolie, which is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated Tamil film releases of the year, the second single from the film's soundtrack, Monica, has been released. Released on Friday, July 11, 2025, the vibrant track has quickly won over fans with its foot-tapping beats, dazzling visuals, and unexpectedly energetic, show-stealing performance by actor Soubin Shahir.

Monica is the second single of the movie Coolie

While Rajinikanth's star power continues to anchor Coolie's anticipation and the buzz around the film, the newly released song has shifted the spotlight momentarily towards Pooja Hegde and Soubin Shahir. Monica, sung by Suhashini and Anirudh Ravichander, is a lively and rhythmic number that blends infectious energy with a touch of global glam. Interestingly and cheekily enough, the track gives a nod to iconic Italian actress, Monica Bellucci; this tribute adds a playful flair to the song's title and concept. 

The video features Pooja Hegde dancing atop a cargo ship. On the dockyard, she is surrounded by hundreds of backup dancers dressed as construction workers, she is exuding confidence and high-octane energy in a beautiful red dress and silver metallic heels. She is joined by Soubin Shahir, who delivers a performance which has shocked everyone. He has captivated everyone with his surprisingly smooth moves and swagger.

Fans' reaction to Monica from Coolie

Taking to his official X account, Anirudh shared the music video and wrote, "Monica is here to rock the dance floor!" True to his word, the song has ignited a frenzy among fans and music lovers, with reactions pouring in across all the platforms. Monica is currently at number 10 on trending on YouTube with 4.7 million views within less than 24 hours of its release.

Fans are loving Pooja Hegde's appearance, and her energetic performance has turned into a deafening praise for her all over the internet. One fan commented, "Every frame she appears in is magic. Glamour, elegance and attitude! Pooja nailed it" Another added, "Pooja Hegde stole the show in this song!"

Soubin Shahir, who is better known for his comedic timing and roles, has pleasantly surprised fans with his vibrant and almost uninhibited dance moves. Social media has been flooded with reactions praising his performance, and he has wihtout a doubt stolen the show. "Bro stole the song! Super unexpected," wrote a user. Another said, "I think Soubin Shahir will be a show stealer in Coolie."

Coolie is one of the most anticipated projects of Rajinikanth

Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and headlined by Superstar Rajinikanth, is backed by Sun Pictures and is set for a grand theatrical release on August 14, 2025. As reported by the Times of India, it is to be the highest overseas procurement for a Tamil film to date and will reach audiences in over 100 countries around the globe.
