Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam’s upcoming film Thug Life is already generating huge waves even before its release. Ever since the movie was announced, it has generated massive buzz among the audience. Even before hitting theaters, the action-packed drama has made a remarkable business by selling its digital rights. Produced in multiple languages, including Tamil and Hindi, the Telugu rights alone have fetched a hefty amount, signaling strong pre-release business.
According to Deccan Chronicle, the Telugu rights of the film have been sold for a staggering ₹25 crore, marking the biggest ever deal for a Kamal Haasan film. The fans are simply dying to witness the Kamal-Mani magic once again after their cult classic Nayakudu (the Telugu version of Nayakan). With big names like Silambarasan (STR), Trisha, and A.R. Rahman in the team, expectations are sky-high. The film is all set for its theatrical release on June 5, 2025.
Thug Life’s Massive Pre-Release Business
Thug Life is setting the stage for a grand release. The makers have closed multiple big deals even before the film’s theatrical debut. Netflix has reportedly bagged the film’s digital rights for a record ₹149.7 crore. Additionally, the audio rights have been secured by SaReGaMa South, and the overseas theatrical rights were sold for ₹63 crore. In addition to Kamal Haasan, Thug Life features Silambarasan, Trisha Krishnan, Jayam Ravi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, and Aishwarya Lekshmi. The music, composed by Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman, adds even more excitement.
