Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, features an all-star cast that includes a cameo by Bollywood actor Aamir Khan. Coolie, Rajinikanth's highly anticipated film, is generating a lot of enthusiasm among fans. The film's second song, Monica, which stars Pooja Hegde in a gorgeous avatar, has now been released. Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, features an all-star cast that includes a cameo by Bollywood actor Aamir Khan. It will be released in theatres on August 14, and promises a mix of action, drama and entertainment. Within a day of its release, the music video had clocked in 5 million views and the makers shared the happy news on their official Instagram handle. Sharing a snippet from the music video, they wrote, 'Thalaiyae suththavaikkum, sooravali ponnachi!5M+ love for our sensational #Monica. Watch the second single #Monica from #Coolie starring Pooja Hegde." Pooja Hegde as Monica looks lovely in her red sparkly gown with a high slit. Her movement, combined with Soubin Shahir's rare dance skills to Anirudh Ravichander's sounds, makes it the ideal party song. The song is sung by Sublahshini, Anirudh Ravichander, Rap by Asal Kolaar and lyrics by Vishnu Edavan. Reportedly, Coolie is expected to reach audiences in more than 100 countries when it opens on August 14. Apart from Rajinikanth, the film stars Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir and Shruti Haasan. Anirudh composed the music for the film, his fourth consecutive collaboration with director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Girish Gangadharan is the film's cinematographer, and Philomin Raj is the editor. The film is highly anticipated because it will reunite actors Sathyaraj and Rajinikanth after nearly 38 years. The two last appeared together in the 1986 Tamil film 'Mr Bharath', in which Sathyaraj played Rajinikanth's father. Interestingly, Sathyaraj turned down chances to appear in some of Rajinikanth's other films, including Enthiran and Sivaji. Coolie is Rajinikanth's 171st film, which is about gold smuggling. Interestingly, filmmaker Lokesh Kanakaraj has stated that Coolie will be a standalone film, not part of his Lokesh Cinematic Universe. War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, is also slated to compete with Rajinikanth's film at the box office, and fans are excited to watch both blockbusters in theatres.
