Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming action thriller Coolie continues to ride high on fan frenzy, with each new release creating waves across social media. The latest to catch fire is the peppy dance number “Monica”, composed by Anirudh Ravichander and featuring Pooja Hegde — but it’s Soubin Shahir who has emerged as the unexpected show-stealer.
While fans expected magic from the Anirudh-Pooja combo, it was Soubin’s carefree, energetic dance moves that truly lit up the screen. Known primarily for his intense acting in Malayalam cinema, Soubin surprised everyone with his uninhibited dancing, quickly becoming a trending topic. The song, set in a massive, vibrant setup featuring hundreds of background dancers, sees Soubin bursting into the frame with moves that fans are calling “out of syllabus” and “scene-stealing.”
The song is already topping music charts, and clips of Soubin’s segment have gone viral, earning him praise for his versatility and unexpected energy. Social media is flooded with appreciation posts, dance edits, and memes celebrating his performance.
