Sun Pictures, the production banner behind Coolie, announced a while ago that the second song from the film, titled 'Monica', will release at 6:00 pm on July 11, Friday. The banner made the announcement with a promo featuring Pooja Hegde shaking a leg to the lyrics that go like, "Love you Monica". The song has vocals by composer Anirudh Ravichander himself, and its video also features Soubin Shahir and Rishikanth dancing alongside Pooja. Reposting the announcement post on X, Pooja wrote, "Let the Monica fever begin."
Pooja is set to have a cameo role in the film; one wonders whether or not it will be limited to the appearance in the song. The Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial also stars Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Soubin Shahir. Reba Monica John reportedly plays a key role in the film, whereas Aamir Khan is also set to play a cameo.
Coolie marks the first collaboration between Rajinikanth and Lokesh, as well as the former and Shruti Haasan. It will also reunite Rajinikanth with his Mr Bharath co-star Sathyaraj.
Earlier, Sun Pictures released the film's first single, titled 'Chikitu', also sung by Anirudh. At the time, they announced that the film has been titled 'Majdoor' for the Hindi audience, drawing considerable criticism from netizens. Consequently, the makers changed it to Coolie The Powerhouse.
The technical team of Coolie also includes cinematographer Girish Gangadharan and editor Philomin Raj. The film has dialogues by Lokesh himself and Chandhru Anbazhagan, the Maaveeran fame who is also credited for additional screenplay.
The film is slated for an August 14 release in theatres worldwide in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. The Ayan Mukerji directorial War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, is set to clash with the Rajinikanth starrer at the box office, and audiences are eagerly looking forward to seeing who comes out on top.
