Gangster One of the most anticipated releases of the upcoming week is Life. The movie, in which the versatile character plays the main role, is the reunion of the Papansam actor with director Mani Ratnam following their legendary picture Nayakan. Everyone is focused on the reunion and whether the pair will once again create magic on camera. The movie's release has, however, been embroiled in controversy just prior to the release of Thug Life.

Before the release of Thug Life, Tamil Nadu lowers ticket costs

The new regulation will be implemented upon the release of Thug Life, in accordance with Kamal Haasan's request to the government. Since industry players like producers and distributors have praised the action, it is anticipated that it will draw more viewers, which will ultimately benefit the sector. Ticket prices for Thug Life, which will be in cinemas on June 5, are anticipated to decrease.

For his remarks about Kannada, Kamal Haasan refuses to apologize

The Kamal Haasan-starrer is now banned in Karnataka as a result of the Gunaa actor's statement on the origins of Kannada, despite the positive news in Tamil Nadu. Kamal Haasan's statement in a recent gathering that Kannada originated in Tamil Nadu did not go over well with the residents of Karnataka.

The remark has incensed a number of pro-Kannada groups, who have called for Kamal Haasan to apologize for it. The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce had also made the same request of the actor, which would result in a ban if it was not fulfilled. Karnataka's Thug Life. But the actor has insisted that he will not apologize and that he stands by what he said. The launch of Thug Life in India is still pending, so it's unclear how things will unfold in the nation.
