The Indian film industry is abuzz with anticipation as legendary actor Kamal Haasan reunites with visionary director Mani Ratnam for their highly anticipated action thriller, Thug Life. Scheduled for a big-screen release on June 5, the movie is already generating a huge pre-release hype throughout Kollywood and Tollywood, owing to its powerful team and star-studded cast.
Thug Life has an ensemble cast that apparently features Simbu and Trisha in key roles, which brings a greater authenticity to the big-budget movie. The movie is being produced by the big production houses of Raaj Kamal Films International, Madras Talkies, and Red Giant Movies, and is creating euphoria with its interesting teaser, high-quality graphics, and slick promotional posters
To maintain the buzz, the creators are set to launch a grand audio launch event on May 24, which will turn out to be a celebration for fans as well as music enthusiasts. Having already shaken up the audience with the first single of the film, the team has now released their second track — ‘Sugar Baby’, a number that’s fast winning over the young generation.
The song is composed by none other than A.R. Rahman, who once again delivers his signature blend of soulful rhythm and modern beats. Sung by Alexandra Joy, Shuba, and Nakul Abhyankar, with heartfelt lyrics penned by Anantha Sriram, Sugar Baby is already going viral on social media with fans praising its romantic yet peppy vibe.
Following Vikram’s monster hit, Kamal Haasan looks to again raise the bar with Thug Life. Added to Mani Ratnam’s direction, Rahman’s magical music, and a cast that has mass as well as class appeal, the movie is in the process of becoming one of the biggest film happenings of the year.
With the countdown to June 5 on, everyone is looking to Thug Life to see whether it would rechart action cinema in the history of Indian cinema.
