Amazed by her reaction, Pooja Hegde said, “Oh, really? Wow. That’s the biggest compliment ever.” Further, she went on to add that she always admired the legendary actress. “I’ve actually always loved Monica Bellucci. She was so iconic in her own way for her persona. She didn’t really need to do much. At the same time, she had a very unique style and a unique voice in terms of how she carried herself. So it was a big feat. But I’m glad. I’m glad she liked it,” added Pooja Hegde.
Last seen in Suriya’s Retro, Hegde also acknowledged the efforts of fans who were constantly asking the Italian actress to have a look at the Tamil song. Pooja said, “I believe a lot of people were commenting on her Instagram, and a lot of Tamil fans were saying, ‘Please go movie Coolie’s song.’”

The actress highlighted that Lokesh Kanagaraj has informed her about the song’s use for commercial purposes, indicating she can add worth.
“For a director like him to say that, and put their money where their mouth is by hiring me for that job — and for it to help the film — that’s very exciting for me. It tells me I can contribute to tickets, I bring worth. And these are the people whose opinion I should worry about — not so much anyone else’s,” expressed Pooja Hegde.
