Imagine that after 38 years apart, two Indian film icons, Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam, get back together to create another thrilling action drama.
Yes, we’re talking about Thug Life, a film that’s already setting the internet on fire with its explosive trailer, intense performances, and… wait for it… a liplock that’s sparked a massive age-gap controversy!
From emotional flashbacks to jaw-dropping action and powerful dialogues like "Rangarayan Sakthivel Nayakar naam mein hi kafi hai", this film promises to be more than just another gangster drama.
But amidst the excitement, one moment in the trailer has grabbed more headlines than applause — a liplock scene between 70-year-old Kamal Haasan and 41-year-old Abhirami. Audiences are divided. Is it bold, unnecessary, or just plain awkward? We break down the entire buzz — from the film’s plot and cast to the controversy that’s got everyone talking.
Thug Life Trailer
The Thug Life trailer begins with picturesque imagery accompanied by Kamal Haasan’s voiceover, in which he recounts a story about a young boy who once rescued him. That boy matures into Silambarasan (also referred to as Simbu), who appears to become a significant aspect of his life. The trailer suggests a strong connection between the two characters and depicts their experiences of happiness, sorrow, and treachery.
Audiences are also shown moments of Kamal Haasan experiencing emotional and romantic interactions with actresses Trisha and Abhirami. However, the emphasis quickly shifts back to thrilling action sequences. At a certain moment, Simbu’s character identifies himself as Rangarayan Sakthivel Nayakar, marking a significant shift in the narrative. A compelling confrontation occurs between Simbu and Kamal Haasan, sparking interest in their dynamic within the movie.

A specific moment, depicting a kiss between Haasan and Abhirami, has turned into a subject of dispute. It is because of the difference in age. Kamal Haasan is almost 70 years old. Abhirami is 41 years old. “A kiss between Kamal and Abhirami, separated by a 30-year age difference, simply feels strange,” reads a comment that has been shared widely.
Kamal Haasan is familiar with romantic scenes in films. Since the 1980s until recent times, he has appeared in numerous films with comparable themes. Nonetheless, critics now appear to be doubting the significance or suitability of such scenes given his present age.
Thug Life may be a cinematic powerhouse, but the real drama has already begun off-screen. Will the film rise above the controversy? Let’s wait for June 5!
