More about Thug Life
The team unveiled the film’s title on Kamal’s birthday last year. The 3-minute glimpse featured the Thug Life Theme song, which the actor said was penned within an hour. Kamal and Mani reunite for the first time after their 1987 film Nayakan. Shooting for the film commenced in January this year and wrapped up in September. Dulquer Salmaan and Jayam Ravi were initially roped in for the film but were replaced by Silambarasan and Ashok.
Shruti Haasan’s birthday wish
His daughter, Shruti Haasan, posted a monochrome picture of her and Kamal taken from behind to wish him on his birthday. Sharing it, she wrote, “Happy birthday appa. You’re a rare (gem emoji) and walking by your side is one of my favorite things to do in life. I know you don’t believe in god, but you’ll always be his/her chosen child and I’m always so excited to see all the magical things you do. To many many more birthdays and celebrating many more dreams come to life. Love you so much pa.”
Apart from Thug Life, Kamal will also be seen in Shankar’s Indian 3 and the sequel of Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD. He’s also shooting for a yet-to-be-announced project.
