A major event in Indian cinema comes along. A very rarely seen reunion of Kamal Haasan with master filmmaker Mani Ratnam after 37 years since the classic Nayakan. His reinstatement with Thug Life is at last an action-packed gangster drama that promises intense performances and high stakes storytelling.
As a birthday gift to the superstar – Haasan’s 70th birthday – this teaser for the date of its release excited and set a date for the film’s official release, June 5, 2025. The rugged look in gritty combat scenes lends a realism and depth to the character, and also curbs curiosity about the timeline of the film with regard to the dual portrayal by Haasan.
Silambarasan TR is another bright spot in Thug Life. In a teaser glimpse, he’s noticed celebrating Holi brandishing a blood-soaked weapon giving an inkling into what raw intensity the character brings to the story.
Brought to you by a star studded team, Thug Life is the product of Raaj Kamal Films International, Madras Talkies and Red Giant Movies. This film also stars Trisha, Abhirami, Nasser, Joju George, Ali Fazal, and Aishwarya Lekshmi, all such dominant stars who add vibrancy to the layered narratives in this film. Cinematography by Ravi K Chandran is sure to be a visual treat. And AR Rahman’s score would take the film to immense heights of impact. Editing being done by Sreekar Prasad will enhance the pace and rhythm of this dynamic tale.
For Haasan and Ratnam, Thug Life is not merely a reunion but the journey back to their cinematic roots, amplifying their vision of an action-driven gangster epic. The project promises to be a milestone-one that blends stellar performances, a very evocative storyline, and some of the best technical prowess on the screen to capture the spirit of cinema with a hint of nostalgia.
