Who Is ‘Monica’? The Story Behind Coolie’s Viral Song

The song ‘Monica’ from Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Coolie has become a viral hit. Pooja Hegde shines in the video with her bold look, powerful dance moves, and high-energy performance. But many people are now asking one question, who is Monica?

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj explained the story behind the name. The character Monica is inspired by Monica Bellucci, a famous actress from Italy. Lokesh said he has admired her since his teenage years. Her film Malena was a favorite among young viewers at the time, and it left a strong impression on him.

At first, the team planned to use Monica Bellucci’s full name in the song title. Later, they decided to keep it simple and just go with “Monica.” That name was then given to Pooja Hegde’s character in the film.

In the song, Pooja wears a bright red retro-style dress and steals the show with her graceful and confident dance. Her performance brings both glamour and energy to the screen.

Music director Anirudh Ravichander added his unique style to the song. He blended Western beats with a strong mass appeal, making it catchy and enjoyable for all kinds of listeners. This perfect mix helped the song go viral soon after its release.
