Actor Soubin Shahir is grabbing eyeballs with his energetic dance moves in the song Moncia from the film Coolie, starring Rajinikanth in the lead. His performance in the song has been widely praised, and he even performed it live at the film’s pre-release event held earlier this month in Chennai. At the event, Rajinikanth also spoke about Shahir and admitted he was initially doubtful about his casting.

Rajinikanth doubted Soubin's casting 

Rajinikanth publicly revealed that he had reservations about Soubin’s casting as Dayal in the film because he was bald. The superstar was not aware of Soubin’s body of work in Malayalam cinema prior to Coolie.

“I asked Lokesh, ‘Who is Soubin? Which films has he acted in?’ He mentioned Manjummel Boys, where Soubin played a key role,” Rajinikanth said.
