 "'Thug Life' Trailer Review: Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam reunite after 38 years for a gritty and grand spectacle")
Thug Life marks the reunion of Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam after 38 years since their cult classic Nayakan. There has been anticipation ever since the announcement and the trailer is finally out:
What is Thug Life all about?
Thug Life is a moniker that suggests that the film is going to be a blend of grit and gravitas and adding their magical touch would be the combination of Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam.
Going by the trailer, it’s all about mass and masala moments that the audiences are keen to watch post the pandemic. The leading man who has been working for over six decades plays the role of a gangster named Rangaraaya Sakthivel Naicker. Silambarasan plays Naicker’s adopted son, who is mentored by him. And then there’s Trisha Krishnan, who plays the Hassan’s mistress.
The film follows Rangaraaya Sakthivel Naicker, a powerful gangster, who was presumed dead and returns to find himself at odds with his own son, and they become bitter enemies.
In Thug Life, Kamal Haasan takes on the role of Rangaraya Sakthivel Nayakar, a complex figure navigating the shadows of crime and justice. Mani Ratnam’s script and direction promise a larger-than-life narrative, while Rahman’s compositions are expected to heighten the drama and emotional stakes.
