The song was released as the second single on 11 July 2025 through the production house. The song's lyrical version was released on the YouTube through Sun TV on the same day. The song was also released in Telugu with lyrics by Krishna Kanth, in Hindi and Kannada with lyrics by Kumaar, and in Malayalam with lyrics by Deepak Ram. Upon its release, the song received widespread positive response and began trending online. Its hook-step dance performed by Pooja Hegde became a viral trend, contributing significantly to the film's popularity. Hegde's dance steps were widely appreciated, with Firstpost calling her the "Queen of the Hook Step". [4]

Following its release, it peaked on several charts including UK Asian Music Chart and had a significant commercial success, even gained global attention. [5] With global attention, star power, and a pulsating beat, "Monica" continues to cement its place as one of Tamil cinema's most talked-about tracks of the year, according to News Today . [6]

Background

Anirudh Ravichander composed the song. This marked his second collaboration with Pooja Hegde, after Beast (2022) and fourth with Lokesh Kanagaraj, after Master (2021), Vikram (2022) and Leo (2023). [7] [8] Vishnu Edavan, an assistant director of Lokesh had written lyrics for the song, after previously doing so for Master, Vikram and Leo. [9] Rap verses were written and performed by Asal Kolaar in his second collaboration with Anirudh and Lokesh, following their work on the song "Naa Ready". [10] "Monica" is the third song featuring Hegde in a track composed by Anirudh, following "Arabic Kuthu" and "Jolly O Gymkhana". [11] [12]

Sublahshini was chosen to record the song. [13] When Anirudh's team first contacted her, she thought it was a prank call. After speaking with her friend, who was collaborating with Anirudh, she realized it was genuine and agreed to sing the song. [14] She recorded the song in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam versions, along with Anirudh himself at Albuquerque Records, Chennai. [15] [16]

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India , Lokesh revealed that both he and Anirudh are huge fans of the Italian actress Monica Bellucci. [17] [18] Initially, they decided to create a song inspired by her, which led to the track being named "Monica". [19] [20] Once the music took shape, the duo started thinking about who could visually carry that same energy on screen. [21] That was when Lokesh thought of Hegde, she had the grace and glam they were looking for. [22] After she came on board, it felt natural to name her character Monica as a tribute to their original inspiration. [23] [24]

"Monica" is a high-energy dance-pop track infused with retro elements, characterized by Anirudh Ravichander's signature upbeat rhythms and vibrant instrumentation. [25] [26] Unlike other songs, Anirudh provided hook lines and tunes so that Vishnu Edavan could get the concept and write the lyrics. [27] The lyrics, penned by Vishnu Edavan, pays homage to Monica Bellucci. [28] [29] The Telugu version was written by Krishna Kanth, the Hindi and Kannada versions by Kumaar, and the Malayalam version by Deepak Ram. [30] [31] The song include subtle references to Rajinikanth's iconic persona, with lines like "Laka Laka Laka" from Chandramukhi (2005). [32] Edavan also included the word "Pooja" in the lyrics. [33] The chorus features the catchy hook, "Monica, My Dear Monica, Love You Monica, Baby Ma Monica," designed for mass appeal. [34] [35] Key lyrical phrases include "Pattunu paathale pulse ethum body" (translating to "Just seeing her makes the pulse race") and "Jilebi lady" (comparing the woman to a sweet, colorful jalebi), incorporating humor and Tamil colloquialisms. [36] [37]

Background and production

In mid-February 2025, it was reported that Hegde would join in Coolie for a special appearance. [38] [39] Hegde had a call with Lokesh to discuss his vision for the music video. After hearing the song and loving it, Hegde agreed to proceed. [40] Lokesh expressed a preference for a red gown, but Hegde and the designer deliberated over the specific shade of red, given the many variations available. They ultimately chose a vibrant red that Hegde wanted to ensure it stood out in the crowd. Together, they finalized the gown's color and silhouette to achieve the desired look. [41] Hegde's red gown was designed by Versace. [42] On 26 February, Sun Pictures revealed a promotional image for Coolie with her face hidden and the caption "Revealing tomorrow". [43] [44] Hegde's inclusion was confirmed by the makers on 27 February with a poster through their social media handles. [45] [46] She was paid 4 crore (US$470,000) for the song shoot. [47]

As part of the film's production, the scenes involved in the music video of the song were shot at Ennore Port, Chennai in late-February 2025. [48] [49] Music video featuring Hegde was choreographed by Sandy. [50] [51] Girish Gangadharan handled the cinematography and Praveen Raja designed the costumes. [52] [53] Video song also featured Soubin Shahir and Rishikanth. [54] [55] As Fahadh Faasil couldn't play the role of Soubin, he wasn't featured in the song. [56] [57] Making video was released by the filmmakers on 16 July 2025. [58] [59]

The production of "Monica" was one of the most physically challenging sequences for Hegde, [60] who faced extreme heat, high humidity, and dust during the shoot at Port. [61] [62] The environment caused physical discomfort, including sunburns and blisters, with visible tan lines lasting for months. [63] [64] The sequence required high-energy choreography, marking Hegde's first major dance performance after recovering from a ligament tear, requiring significant physical exertion and resilience. [65] [66] Filming on Maha Shivaratri (26 February 2025) was particularly challenging, as Hegde was fasting, yet she continued to perform. [67] [68] Despite these challenges, the production team prioritized delivering a polished and glamorous aesthetic, ensuring the performance appeared effortless on screen. [69] [70] The supporting dancers played a crucial role in sustaining the energy of the sequence, providing unwavering support throughout the rigorous filming process. [71] [72]

Marketing and release

On 9 July 2025, the second single announcement of the film is coming at 6 PM. [73] [74] The second single, titled "Monica" starring Hegde was announced by the makers with a promo. [75] [76] Release date of the song was also released on the same day. [54] [77] Hegde shared the promo video on X, captioning it: "Monika Fever Begins!" [78] [79] Instantly it became trending and received wider recognition with fans calling it "red storm". [80] [81] On 10 July, the makers unveiled a poster featuring Hegde stating "Make way for Monica’s entry!" [82] On 11 July morning, makers unveiled a short promo on their social media handles captioning "Monica bellucci, Erangi vandhachi". [83]

The second single, titled "Monica" was released on 11 July 2025. [84] [85] It was released as lyrical video on Sun TV's YouTube channel. [86] [87] The Telugu lyrical video was released on the same day on Gemini TV YouTube channel, marking the first time a Sun Pictures and Lokesh film's Telugu lyrical video has been released simultaneously with the Tamil version. [88] [89] Hindi version's lyrical video was released on 12 July on Sun Neo and Sun Bangla YouTube channels. [90]
