Thug Life, the upcoming film by Kamal Haasan, is a coming together of the thespian star and Mani Ratnam, one of the most accomplished filmmakers in Indian cinema.
Movies
The only time they collaborated in the past was on Nayagan, a landmark film not only for Tamil cinema but for Indian cinema.
Movies
Nayagan showcased a new storytelling style that deftly mixed a high quality of craft. Nayagan established a new grammar for realistic filmmaking in Tamil.
Movies
When Nayagan was released, Mani Ratnam was still a relatively new filmmaker. Nayagan changed everything.
Movies
It is therefore surprising that it took 38 years for Mani Ratnam and Kamal to collaborate on a film after a successful outing like Nayagan.
Movies
In many interviews while promoting Thug Life, both Kamal and Mani Ratnam stated they were in constant touch and discussed many scripts, but for some reason, the stars didn’t align.
Movies
Now that they have come together and the film is just a few days away from hitting the big screen, expectations are at an all-time high.
