After the two-part ‘Ponniyin Selvan,’ the master director Mani Ratnam has embarked on another thrilling project, ‘Thug Life,’ which takes a different tone compared to his usual films.
While it’s still too early to make predictions, the announcement video for ‘Thug Life’ suggests that Kamal Haasan’s character might draw inspiration from the recent unapologetic Hollywood action film, ‘Sisu.’
In ‘Sisu,’ 64-year-old Jorma Tommila takes on the lead role, offering an uncomplicated, violent 90-minute rampage filled with intense action.
If Mani Ratnam is indeed inspired by ‘Sisu’ and presents Kamal as a character akin to Jorma, ‘Thug Life’ could attract a significant audience hungry for fast-paced action. This move could bring a unique twist to Mani Ratnam’s career at this stage. Let’s wait and see.
