Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan's upcoming project, Thug Life, is one of the most eagerly awaited films of 2024. The movie also marks the long-awaited collaboration between Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam after their cult-classic thriller, Nayagan. According to early reports, the Thug Life team was set to begin their second schedule in Serbia with Kamal Haasan and other key actors from the film.
However, recent rumors suggest that the shoot in Serbia has been canceled, and some details about the project are spreading widely, particularly regarding Kamal Haasan's role in Thug Life.
Is the Thug Life Serbia shoot canceled?
Reports indicate that the second schedule of Thug Life, which was supposed to take place in Serbia and then Chennai, has been temporarily canceled due to Kamal Haasan's political commitments for the upcoming elections.
Additionally, a rumor has circulated that Ulaganayagan will be portraying three different roles in the upcoming action-thriller. The shoot is expected to resume once Kamal Haasan is completely free from his political obligations, as many scenes are said to be filmed together, potentially featuring Kamal Haasan in his multiple roles.
However, the makers have not released any official statement regarding the schedule change or Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan's rumored triple role, which would undoubtedly be a treat for his die-hard fans.
