The second single from Rajinikanth’s new movie Coolie is out now. The song, called Monica, dropped on Friday, and fans are going crazy over it. The movie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is one of the most awaited Tamil films this year.
Monica is a fun, stylish song with Pooja Hegde and Soubin Shahir dancing in colorful scenes. Anirudh Ravichander composed the music, continuing his successful work with Lokesh Kanagaraj. This is their fourth movie together. The song is sung by Sublahshini and Anirudh, with rap by Asal Kolaar. Vishnu Edavan wrote the lyrics. The peppy beats and lively visuals are making fans even more excited for the film.
Sun Pictures is producing Coolie, and it’s already breaking records. It has become the highest-selling Tamil film overseas before its release. Reports say the movie will open in over 100 countries, making it one of the biggest global releases for an Indian film. Hamsini Entertainment, known for handling international distribution, is planning a huge worldwide launch.
The film stars Rajinikanth along with Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Shruti Haasan. The crew includes Girish Gangadharan as cinematographer and Philomin Raj as editor.
A big highlight is Rajinikanth and Sathyaraj working together after 38 years. They last acted in Mr. Bharath (1986), where Sathyaraj played Rajinikanth’s father. Since then, Sathyaraj refused roles in Rajini’s hits like Sivaji and Enthiran, so their reunion is special for fans.
Coolie is Rajinikanth’s 171st film and deals with gold smuggling. Some fans thought it might connect to Lokesh Kanagaraj’s LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe), but the director confirmed it’s a standalone story.
The movie releases on August 14, 2025, just before Independence Day weekend. With its star power, action-packed story, and global reach, Coolie is set to be a massive hit. Fans can’t wait to see Rajinikanth back on the big screen in this thrilling entertainer.
