Thug Life, the highly anticipated project marks the second collaboration of legendary duo, Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam. The project, which is touted to be an interlink action drama, is now nearing the final stages of its production. As reported earlier, the movie which was originally announced with a different star cast, underwent major changes following the unexpected delay in its shooting. Recently, the Thug Life team officially welcomed Nasser and Abhirami on board, with a special social media post.

Recently, the makers of Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life took to the official social media handles of Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies and dropped a major cast update. “Excited to welcome #Nasser and @abhiramiact to the stellar #ThugLife family,” wrote the makers, as they officially welcomed the popular actors onboard for the film. Even though both Nasser and Abhirami joined the Kamal Haasan starrer right from its first schedule, the team decided to keep the same under wraps until the filming reached its final stages.
