‘Monica’ Song from Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’ Unleashed – A Visual Treat with Global Ambitions

The makers of Coolie, director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s much-anticipated action entertainer starring Superstar Rajinikanth, dropped the film’s second single ‘Monica’ on Friday, setting the internet abuzz. The vibrant track, composed by Anirudh Ravichander, features a dazzling Pooja Hegde and Soubin Shahir. Sung by Subhalakshmi and Anirudh with rap portions by Asal Kolaar, the song’s lyrics are penned by Vishnu Edavan.

Backed by Sun Pictures, Coolie has already created waves by becoming the highest overseas acquisition for a Tamil film ever. Industry buzz suggests the film could be released in over 100 countries when it hits theatres on August 14, 2025.

The film boasts a pan-India ensemble, including Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Soubin Shahir. Marking Anirudh’s fourth collaboration with Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film’s technical crew includes cinematographer Girish Gangadharan and editor Philomin Raj.

Adding to the anticipation is the return of Sathyaraj and Rajinikanth together on-screen after nearly four decades — their last outing being the 1986 classic Mr. Bharath. Interestingly, Sathyaraj had previously declined roles in Enthiran and Sivaji, making this reunion even more significant.

Coolie, Rajinikanth’s 171st film, is centered around the world of gold smuggling. Lokesh Kanagaraj has confirmed that this film is a standalone venture and not part of his Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). With powerful visuals, an epic cast, and global scale, Coolie promises a high-voltage theatrical experience.
