Earlier this month, Kamal Haasan starred in the title role of the recently released Tamil film Thug Life, which had generated a lot of disappointment. Due to Kamal Haasan's statements regarding the Kannada language, the movie, which was directed by Mani Ratnam, was a contentious gangster action film. As a result of the actor's refusal to apologize, his statements had reached the point where Thug Life was outlawed in Karnataka.

Given the film's potential release in Karnataka soon, will the producers now choose to postpone or prepone the streaming debut because Thug Life wasn't well received and Netflix, which held the OTT rights to the movie, wanted to release it sooner than eight weeks?

The date of the Thug Life OTT release is...

We previously stated that Netflix has secured the streaming rights to Thug Life. Kamal Haasan had initially said that the theatrical and streaming release of the movie would be separated by eight weeks. However, reports soon indicated that Netflix may narrow the gap and release Thug Life soon after the picture did not perform well. The will is said to be released on June 27, according to certain sources.

However, the most recent development in the continuing legal dispute in Karnataka is that the state government has informed the Supreme Court that the film is not banned there and that if it is released there, it will get the necessary protection. Therefore, if Thug Life is soon to be released in Karnataka, the OTT release date is in danger because the distributors are looking for a longer theatrical run before the film hits Netflix.

Thug Life: The Essentials

Thug Life, which also features Simbu, Trisha, Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nasser, Joju George, Abhirami, and others, is the reunion of Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam 38 years after the release of Nayakan.

Thug Life is about an elderly criminal whose adopted son plots to kill him, all set to Ravi K Chandran's cinematography and AR Rahman's music.
