Visually rich and tonally intense, Thug Life showcases the trademark Mani Ratnam finesse. The background score by A.R. Rahman adds pulse-pounding energy, hinting at a soundtrack that will linger long after the credits roll.
Produced by Raaj Kamal Films International, Madras Talkies, and Red Giant Movies, Thug Life is set for a worldwide theatrical release on June 5, 2025. An audio launch event featuring A.R. Rahman is scheduled for May 24 in Chennai.
With this trailer, Thug Life positions itself as a cinematic event of 2025, blending raw action, emotional depth, and star power. Kamal Haasan is back—and this time, he’s not holding back.
