By: Shanaz B Syed | 2 Aug 2025 10:44 AM ISTSuperstar Rajinikanth�s film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is all set to release on August 14. With big names and high expectations, the buzz around Coolie keeps growing.
The song �Monica,� featuring Pooja Hegde and Soubin Shahir, is already getting a lot of attention in all languages, with 100 million views and trending on all music platforms. Soubin�s fun dance moves and the catchy beats have helped the song go viral. During promotions, Lokesh spoke about why the song was added.
He clearly said the song was included for business reasons. He usually avoids item songs, but this time, they felt it could help the film�s reach. He added that the song blends into the film and doesn�t interrupt the story.
Lokesh explained that, unlike Jailer, where Rajinikanth had a dance number, Coolie didn�t have space for that. But Soubin�s character gave them a natural way to include �Monica,� making it a mix of smart marketing and storytelling.
