Netizens troll Romantic Kamal. Kamal Haasan-Mani Ratnam's Thug Life is the most awaited project. The film is racing for release on 5 June 205 and the makers released the film's trailer. While the trailer attracted all the fans, some netizens found fault with Kamal Haasan for indulging in liplocks and romantic scenes with young heroines Trisha and Abhirami.
Fans reacted in the following manner to Kamal's romantic acts.
Reddit user shared a screenshot of Kamal Haasan and Trisha Krishnan's scene from the Thug Life trailer, along with another image of the actor kissing Abhirami, 42, and wrote, "Noo god please no." The age gap between Kamal, 70, and Trisha, 42, soon became the topic of discussion.
One Reddit user wrote, "An old man romancing a young woman is not a problem as long as it’s addressed. An old man pretending to be young and romancing young girls is weird." Referring to Kamal's kissing scene with Abhirami, another wrote, “This is so weird” Commenting on Kamal and Trisha’s age gap, another said, "Trisha is just three years older than Shruti Haasan, btw." A third joked, "Only 30 years apart. Practically soulmates!" Another comment read, "Eww… brother, ew… what’s that, brother?" One user added, "Mani Ratnam ruining his legacy."
Some however defended Kamal. They posted.
"There is nothing wrong with the pairing, since the plot clearly shows an aged gangster having an affair with a younger woman. But yes, Abhirami and Kamal sharing a lip-lock with a 30-year age difference does seem odd. However, I suppose the film portrays their age gap to be smaller than it is in real life." Another commented, "its two consenting adults, but still, they could have cast someone older to play Kamal’s wife."
