The film, which boasts a star-studded cast including Silambarasan, Trisha, Joju George, and others, has already stirred significant buzz with its teaser revealing a dystopian setting where Kamal Haasan portrays a legendary thug known for his combat skills.

The production of "Thug Life" was not without its challenges, including delays due to Kamal Haasan's political commitments, which led to some cast changes. However, the team's dedication to perfection, as evidenced by their meticulous planning and execution, reminiscent of Ratnam's work on the "Ponniyin Selvan" duology, ensured that the film's shoot was completed efficiently.

With music by the maestro A.R. Rahman and cinematography by Ravi K Chandran, "Thug Life" promises to be an audio-visual treat. The film's post-production is now in full swing, with the makers aiming for a summer 2025 release, giving them ample time to refine what could potentially become another feather in the cap of both Ratnam and Haasan.
