Coolie’s song `Monica` has taken the internet by storm and is proving to be one of the biggest hits. Normally, a song featuring the lead actors is bound to go viral, but as opposed to that, Rajinikanth, the most famous actor in Coolie, is not even in the song and it has become a sensation. Pooja Hegde is putting on a brilliant display of elegance in a red gown and remarkable dance steps.
But it’s Malayalam actor Soubin’s quirky, goofy dance performance that has impressed the public big time. While most typical item songs concentrate on the hero’s style or the heroine’s looks, Soubin’s unorthodox dance step brings a fresh and lasting flavor to the song, making it more popular, as well as increasing the expectations of the film.
Soubin, the key player in Coolie, was a surprising yet apt pick for this item song. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj recently revealed his thrill over the success of the song in an interview, talking about how overwhelmed he was by the response. He clarified, “I’m really happy that ‘Monica’ has resonated with the audience so well. I incorporated the song based on its commercial appeal.”. Generally, I avoid using item songs in my movies as they tend to detract from the story. But for Coolie, I felt that it was the appropriate choice, particularly for Soubin’s character.”
Lokesh continued to state that they viewed the song as a means to give the film broader appeal while developing Soubin’s character more. He also complimented Pooja Hegde’s appearance, along with other features of the film that have led to the build-up expectations. Lokesh assured the audience that Coolie would not disappoint, highlighting the role that Anirudh’s music has had in taking the film to the next level. He also intimated that future songs, especially those sung by Rajinikanth, will build even greater expectations and influence audience expectations. Lokesh also praised Anirudh’s work on the “Powerhouse” track that has gained quite a storm of attention, particularly from Rajinikanth fans.
There has been some controversy among the public regarding if the song would have worked better if it had been done by Rajinikanth himself. But Lokesh put all such speculations to rest, stating that the song did not suit Rajinikanth’s character and that they did not wish to impose a commercial song on him. He went on to state that Soubin’s addition to the item song served to make the film more realistic and realistic, allowing a new perspective to the story.
Coolie is set to release in theaters on August 14, and the hype surrounding the film is huge. The competition for Coolie will be tough, as it will be running against War 2 during the same time period. The box office performance of the two films will be observed, but both have generated significant hype, so it will be interesting to see what announcements are made in the coming weeks for film enthusiasts.
