Mani Ratnam's Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan and Silambarasan TR (Simbu), is one of the most-awaited films of this year. The trailer for Thug Life, was unveiled today, in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi at a grand event in Chennai. The film marks the reunion of Ratnam and Haasan, after nearly four decades. 1987 film Nayakan was their last collaboration.
Thug Life has been co-written by Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam.
The 2-minute long trailer of Thug Life begins with Kamal Haasan’s voiceover, saying, “You saved my life, you protected me from the Lord of Death. Our two destinies were written as one. You and I are now bound together as one. Till the end.”
Then STR's character is introduced as Kamal’s voiceover continues in the background. He says, “If I am a lion, you’re the king of the pride.” STR then says, “Majestic lion.” Kamal replies, “Yes, your Majesty" and announces STR as his successor.
Kamal and Silambarasan share a very profound relationship, but soon it takes a different turn- both are seen in contrast sides- standing against each other.
