The recently released song “Monica” from Rajinikanth’s much-anticipated film Coolie has become a viral sensation, not only because of pooja Hegde’s electrifying screen presence but also due to an unexpected scene-stealer — malayalam actor Soubin Shahir. While fans were eager to watch pooja light up the screen with her glamorous dance moves, Soubin’s energetic and quirky dance performance quickly turned heads and sparked conversations online. Many were pleasantly surprised to see him in a completely new light, bringing a refreshing burst of energy and comic timing to the high-tempo track.

Soubin Shahir is no stranger to malayalam cinema lovers. He started his journey in the industry as a child actor and later carved a niche for himself working behind the camera as an assistant director. His deep understanding of cinema and storytelling eventually led him in front of the camera, where he gained recognition with impactful roles in critically acclaimed films such as Premam, Charlie, and Annayum Rasoolum. His true breakout, however, came with the 2018 film Sudani from Nigeria, where he played a heartwarming lead role that won him widespread praise and a kerala State Film Award for Best Actor.

More recently, in 2024, Soubin co-produced and starred in Manjummel Boys, a film that went on to become a box-office juggernaut, collecting over ₹200 crore globally. This blend of artistic credibility and commercial success has positioned Soubin as one of malayalam cinema’s most versatile and bankable talents. With his surprising and spirited dance cameo in “Monica,” he has not only expanded his fan base beyond kerala but also showcased his versatility once again — proving that his flair extends well beyond serious or character-driven roles. His appearance in Coolie adds a delightful layer to the film’s promotional appeal, further boosting anticipation among a pan-Indian audience.
