The legendary duo of Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan, who previously created magic with the iconic film “Nayakan,” are joining forces once again after nearly three decades. This reunion has set the Kollywood sphere abuzz with anticipation, as fans eagerly await another masterpiece from the pair.
The upcoming film, titled “Thug Life,” is poised to be a cinematic event of epic proportions. With a lavish budget and a stellar cast, the project initially considered as a single installment, has now evolved into a two-part saga, reminiscent of the grandeur of “Baahubali” and “Ponniyin Selvan.” The official announcement regarding this exciting development is expected to be made soon.
“Thug Life” has already generated immense excitement with early glimpses stirring the public’s imagination. The film boasts an impressive lineup of talent, including Kamal Haasan, Shimbu, and a host of other notable artists. Given the exceptional quality of the story unfolding on set, the decision to release the narrative in two parts seems to promise an even richer cinematic experience.
While Mani Ratnam’s “Ponniyin Selvan” was shot and released in two parts with a six-month interval, “Thug Life” will adopt a different approach. The first part will be completed and released before the commencement of the second, ensuring each chapter receives the attention it deserves.
As we await the release of “Thug Life,” there’s also buzz about Mani Ratnam’s plans for a mega multi-starrer featuring an ensemble of Kollywood’s finest. This ambitious endeavor by Mani Ratnam, coupled with Kamal Haasan’s unparalleled artistry, is set to captivate audiences and critics alike.
