Pooja Hegde Delivers Electrifying 'Monica' Dance Tribute in Upcoming Film Coolie

The upcoming Tamil-language action thriller Coolie is generating buzz with the release of its energetic dance number 'Monica'. The song, which serves as a tribute to Italian actress and model Monica Bellucci, features Pooja Hegde delivering vibrant dance sequences that have helped the track gain significant traction online.

According to director Lokesh Kanagaraj, both he and composer Anirudh Ravichander have long admired Bellucci's work. During the initial brainstorming for the song, they wanted to create something inspired by her, leading to the idea of incorporating her name into the lyrics. Once the music was developed, the challenge was finding an actress who could visually match the energy and style they had in mind.

This is where Pooja Hegde came into the picture. Lokesh says she had the exact blend of elegance and screen charisma they were looking for, making her the perfect fit for the 'Monica' song. With Pooja on board, the character name felt like a natural progression, completing the tribute to their original inspiration.

Coolie, set in a coastal port town, follows a mysterious man who rises against a corrupt syndicate exploiting and abusing the coolies. The film blends action, drama, and socio-political themes, with Lokesh's signature storytelling style expected to drive the narrative. The release of the 'Monica' song has only added to the anticipation for this major upcoming release.
