Kamal Haasan recounts his first impression of Thug Life director Mani Ratnam: ‘I didn’t even know he belonged to a film family’

The film titled “Thug Life,” starring Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan TR, is set to premiere on June 5, 2025. In preparation for this release, the lead actors along with director Mani Ratnam have been seen in Mumbai recently. During their visit, Kamal Haasan shared his initial thoughts about Mani Ratnam.

Reflecting on their shared past as neighbors, Kamal Haasan shared that at first, Mani Ratnam appeared to be just a local friend he lived alongside. He was unaware of Mani’s film background, regarding him solely as an acquaintance. They had formed a friendship and even shared a circle of friends who conversed primarily about cinema.

When queried about his collaboration with him following the 1987 film Nayakan, Haasan stated that they were each seeking compelling roles and exceptional talent. Furthermore, he mentioned that the thrill of working with Mani Ratnam again was the most intriguing aspect of Thug Life for him.

In the realm of Thug Life, the movie unfolds within a crime-ridden environment. The characters Rangaraaya Sakthivel and his sibling Manickam rescue a child named Amaran from a harrowing police gunfight and decide to raise him as their own.

Through a deep, interwoven connection, Sakthivel and Amaran share a powerful father-son relationship. Yet, decades pass, and Sakthivel finds himself under threat as he’s targeted for assassination, leaving many to believe him dead. Suspicions then arise that Amaran may have orchestrated this betrayal.

Currently, Sakthivel is determined to exact his revenge on his son, intending to end their conflict permanently. In this upcoming film, Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan TR will take the lead roles, with Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Sanya Malhotra, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, and numerous other talented actors filling important roles.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about an upcoming movie. The creators have announced that they will be releasing the second single, titled “Sugar Baby,” on May 21, 2025. Following this, they plan to host an audio launch event on May 24, 2025, where the legendary AR Rahman himself will perform live! I can’t wait for these musical treats and the movie itself. Stay tuned!
