Recently, it is with sadness that we announce the passing of Pope Francis, who had been under treatment for about a month in the hospital due to a severe respiratory infection and double pneumonia. He was, of course, the leader of the Catholic Church.

Just yesterday, following Easter Sunday, we witnessed the passing of the Pope. Notably, he had a meeting with the U.S. Vice President, JD Vance, on the very same day.

Regarding Kamal Haasan’s professional sphere, there has been a lot of buzz online following the release of the first single from his film titled Thug Life. This song, directed by Mani Ratnam, was named Jinguchaa and saw Haasan contributing to its lyrics. The music for this track is by AR Rahman.

The forthcoming movie is rumored to be a gripping gangster action tale, marking the long-awaited reunion of Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam after nearly four decades. In this film, titled “Thug Life”, Kamal Haasan takes center stage, with a talented roster of actors such as Silambarasan, Trisha Krishnan, Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Joju George, Abhirami, Nassar, Ali Fazal, Sanya Malhotra, and others, filling important roles.

The movie will be launched on June 5, 2025. Notably, Kamal Haasan is set to work together with directors AnbAriv for their first venture as filmmakers, provisionally known as KH237.
