The official confirmation about the film’s casting is yet to come out but it seems that Silambarasan is finally set to share the screen with Kamal Haasan for the first time. It is also expected that his portions will be shot from April onwards.
Moreover, this also means that STR48 is being directed by Desingh Periyasamy and produced by Kamal Haasan himself. It is expected that STR will be shooting for the former in the second half of 2024, once he completes his portions for Thug Life.
If the rumors are set to be true, it also means that STR will be collaborating with Mani Ratnam for the second time. Previously, the actor had worked with the master craftsman for the 2018 film Chekka Chivantha Vaanam which was positively received by critics and audiences alike.

Thug Life marks the second collaboration of director Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan after their cult classic film Nayakan, which was released back in 1987.
