A Mani Ratnam Vision with AR Rahman’s Music

Kamal Haasan’s Idea Sparked the Story
During the recent press meet, Kamal Haasan shared a surprising behind-the-scenes detail. He revealed that the story idea for Thug Life originally came from one of his own old scripts.
“We discussed many stories… Mani Ratnam told me he liked one of my old scripts. I told him to take it. He got inspired by it and went in his own direction,” Haasan said.
Silambarasan TR & Trisha Krishnan Reunite
Adding to the buzz, Thug Life also marks the on-screen reunion of Silambarasan TR and Trisha Krishnan, who were last seen together in the romantic hit Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. Fans are excited to see them share screen space again in a completely different setting.
