As you may know, Thug Life marks Kamal Haasan’s second collaboration with director Mani Ratnam, after a long gap of over 37 years. The duo’s first project together, Nayakan, was a major critical and commercial success, and eventually earned a cult-classic status. As the title reveal teaser suggested, the Ulaganayagan is set to play the character named Rangaraya Sakthivel Nayakar, in the period action drama. Thug Life is expected to hit the theatres in December 2024, as a Christmas special release.
