One of Tamil cinema’s most anticipated films of the year, Thug Life, starring the legendary Kamal Haasan, is set to make a grand debut on June 5, 2025, in theatres. But the excitement doesn’t stop there — the gangster epic will also be available to stream on Netflix, opening the door for global audiences to witness the cinematic magic of the Kamal Haasan–Mani Ratnam reunion.

Thug Life: A Reunion Four Decades in the Making

The film marks a monumental collaboration between two icons of Indian cinema — Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam, who last worked together in the cult classic Nayakan back in 1987. That film went on to become a milestone in Indian cinematic history, and expectations are sky-high for Thug Life to match or even surpass that legacy.

With Thug Life, Mani Ratnam returns to the gritty gangster genre — a space he excels in — while Kamal Haasan brings his unmatched intensity and versatility to the screen once again. The film is already being hailed as a landmark moment in Tamil cinema, not just because of its lead duo but because of its rich ensemble cast and large-scale storytelling.

After its theatrical run, Thug Life will stream on Netflix, which has acquired the digital rights to the film. While the exact streaming date hasn’t been disclosed, it’s expected to drop on the platform a few months after the film hits cinemas, allowing fans who miss the theatre experience to catch up on the crime saga at home.

Reports have surfaced suggesting that Netflix secured the rights in a massive deal worth approximately Rs 149.7 crore, although the producers have not made any official confirmation regarding this figure. Regardless, the acquisition underscores the film’s high value and global appeal.

A Star-Studded Cast Brimming with Talent

In addition to Kamal Haasan in the lead, Thug Life features a powerhouse cast that includes Silambarasan TR, Trisha Krishnan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sanya Malhotra, Abhirami, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, Rohit Saraf, and Vaiyapuri. This ensemble brings together actors from across the Indian film industry, creating a melting pot of talent and character depth that promises to elevate the film’s narrative.

From ‘Kamal Haasan 234’ to ‘Thug Life’: Production Journey

Thug Life was first teased back in November 2022 under the working title Kamal Haasan 234. The official title was revealed a year later in November 2023, generating massive buzz across social media platforms.

The film was shot extensively across Chennai, Kanchipuram, Pondicherry, New Delhi, and various northern regions of India, highlighting its pan-Indian storytelling ambition. Principal photography began in January 2024 and was wrapped up later that year, setting the stage for its 2025 release.

The movie is jointly produced by Raaj Kamal Films International, Madras Talkies, and Red Giant Movies — three major banners known for backing quality cinema.

Why ‘Thug Life’ Is More Than Just a Film

This isn’t just another action film. Thug Life is shaping up to be a genre-defining gangster drama that blends Mani Ratnam’s visual storytelling with Kamal Haasan’s formidable screen presence. The narrative is expected to explore power struggles, identity, loyalty, and rebellion — all set against a stylized, noir-inspired visual backdrop.

It’s also Kamal Haasan’s 234th film as a lead actor, adding further significance to the project. For long-time fans and new audiences alike, Thug Life promises to be a cinematic event.

With a gripping storyline, stellar cast, iconic director-actor reunion, and now a confirmed Netflix release, Thug Life is poised to dominate both box office and streaming charts. Whether you’re watching it on the big screen or waiting for its digital premiere, this film is not to be missed.

Mark your calendars for June 5, 2025, and get ready to witness a cinematic saga unfold — one that combines legacy, ambition, and a whole lot of ‘Thug Life’.
