The pre-production work for Thug Life had been underway for several months, building anticipation among fans who have been eagerly awaiting the collaboration between Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam since their last venture together in the iconic 1987 film, Nayakan.

The post also unveiled the names of the final star-studded cast, including Jayam Ravi, Dulquer Salmaan, Gautham Karthik, Trisha Krishnan, Joju George, and Aishwarya Lekshmi.
