The highly anticipated Kollywood film Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan and Simbu, is slated for release on June 5th worldwide. The film's trailer, released a day ago, created a sensation, clocking over 30 million views in 24 hours on YouTube. This impressive feat stands next only to Leo, which garnered 31.9 million views. The censor formalities of the film have also been completed, with Thug Life receiving a U/A certificate and having a runtime of 165 minutes and 42 seconds.
The film's plot revolves around the mafia world, filled with crime and corruption. Rangaraaya Sakthivel (Kamal Haasan) and his brother Manickam save a young boy named Amaran (Simbu) during a horrific shootout with the police and later adopt him. However, an assassination attempt on Sakthivel leads him to suspect Amaran, sparking a revenge plot. With a powerful ensemble cast, including Trisha, Nasser, Abhirami, Ashok Selvan, and Joju George, Thug Life promises to be an intense and high-stakes action narrative.
The team has high expectations for the film, anticipating a blockbuster success. The audio launch is set to take place on May 24th, further fuelling the excitement. The trailer has generated significant buzz, especially among fans of Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam, who are reuniting after over two decades. With the musical genius of AR Rahman scoring the soundtrack, Thug Life is shaping up to be one of 2025's biggest cinematic events.
Produced by Raaj Kamal Films International, Madras Talkies, and Red Giant Films, Thug Life will hit the big screens on June 5, 2025. Netflix has acquired the post-theatrical streaming rights of the film for a substantial price, and Thug Life will stream on the platform after its theatrical run. With its massive scale, talented cast, and legendary filmmakers, Thug Life is poised to be a major success in the film industry.
