The Kamal Haasan starrer, Thug Life, helmed by Mani Ratnam, started rolling earlier this year. The makers are now reportedly planning to reveal actor Silambarasan’s first look from the film, soon.
“Thug Life”: Anticipation and Star Power
The highly anticipated film “Thug Life”, directed by veteran filmmaker Mani Ratnam, began production in February 2024. With Kamal Haasan in the lead role, this multi-starrer promises an action-packed drama.
Notably, popular actor Silambarasan (also known as Simbu) plays a pivotal character in the film. A recent location picture from the New Delhi sets went viral on social media, fueling excitement among fans.
Now, the production banners Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies have teased fans with an announcement. Director Mani Ratnam and his team are gearing up to unveil Silambarasan’s official first look—a moment eagerly awaited by cinephiles.
Romance at Yamuna Ghat
Amidst the action and intrigue, the film also features romantic moments. Recently, scenes involving Silambarasan TR and Trisha Krishnan were filmed at Yamuna Ghat during the early morning hours today i.e,, on May 7. Trisha portrays a dancer in the film, adding an element of grace and emotion to the narrative.
The Countdown to “Sigma Thug”
While the makers haven’t officially disclosed details about the upcoming reveal, the buzz suggests that fans can expect Silambarasan’s first look on May 8, 2024, at 10 AM. Silambarasan’s character is anticipated to be significant, mirroring the multiple looks of the film’s leading man, Kamal Haasan. As the curtain lifts on this “New Thug,” viewers await further updates on the talented actor’s role.
“For those unfamiliar with the backstory, Dulquer Salmaan was initially cast to play the character now portrayed by Silambarasan in ‘Thug Life.’ However, due to delays caused by Kamal Haasan’s political commitments, Dulquer had to exit the Mani Ratnam directorial. Similarly, popular Tamil actor Jayam Ravi, who was set to play a significant role in the film, also stepped away for the same reason.”
As “Thug Life” unfolds, the convergence of star power, mystery, and romance promises an enthralling cinematic experience.
