Watch the Thug Life trailer here:


The trailer of Thug Life showcases Rangaraya Sakthivel Naickar, a powerful gangster who was saved from death by a young boy, Amaran. Announcing their lives to have an intertwined destiny, Rangaraya leads his men along with the latter, making him his son.

However, with rising tensions and foes around them, Rangaraya is presumed to be dead but is soon to make a return from his grave. Now, the father and son are locking horns with one another, marking it as a game of death.

What presumably happened to Rangaraya, how he and his son came to be at opposite odds, seems to set up the entire film. Moreover, Trisha Krishnan plays the female lead, while Abhirami portrays his wife.

Aside from the main cast, the movie has actors like Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Sanya Malhotra, Joju George, Nassar, Pankaj Tripathi, and many more. 

The movie directed by Mani Ratnam is co-written by him and Kamal Haasan. With the legendary filmmakers reuniting, Thug Life becomes their second collaboration in a venture after 1987’s Nayakan. Moreover, the film is musically crafted by AR Rahman, with Ravi K. Chandran handling the cinematography and Sreekar Prasad editing it.
