The much-awaited Tamil action drama Thug Life, directed by legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam, is scheduled to release in theatres on June 5, 2025. Featuring Kamal Haasan in the lead role, this movie is already creating excitement among fans across India and abroad.

Even before its theatrical debut, Thug Life has made news with its OTT announcement. After its big-screen release, the movie will be available on Netflix for streaming in multiple Indian languages including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. The streaming giant shared this update on social media, confirming that fans can enjoy the film online shortly after its cinema run.

The story revolves around Rangaraaya Sakthivel Naicker, played by Kamal Haasan, a powerful and mysterious figure in the underworld. He is deeply involved in organized crime and is feared by many. The film explores his journey through violence, betrayal, and personal change. From the teaser, it is clear that the character has international criminal links, including references to Japan’s yakuza, promising a global crime drama feel.

The movie is not just action-packed but also rich in emotions and character development. Kamal Haasan appears in a bold new avatar with martial arts-inspired outfits and gripping fight sequences. The film aims to showcase the inner conflicts of a man living a dangerous life, trying to find his identity and redemption.

The cast is equally impressive. Along with Kamal Haasan, the film stars Silambarasan TR, Trisha Krishnan, Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and Joju George. The team behind the camera is also noteworthy. Cinematography is handled by Ravi K. Chandran, editing by Sreekar Prasad, and music by none other than A.R. Rahman. The stunts are choreographed by the Anbariv duo, known for high-energy fight scenes, while Sharmishta Roy has designed the grand sets.

With such a strong creative team and a gripping storyline, Thug Life is expected to be one of the biggest Tamil releases of the year. It combines strong performances, stylish visuals, and meaningful storytelling. Fans of action, drama, and Mani Ratnam’s cinema are in for a thrilling experience—both in theatres and later on Netflix.
