The team of Thug Life recently promoted their movie in Delhi and interacted with the media. During this interaction, Kamal Haasan talked about keeping an eight-week OTT window for Thug Life. For the unversed, many actors and filmmakers have talked about how OTT has been impacting the theatrical business. While speaking about the eight-week OTT window for Thug Life, he revealed that the team of Thug Life requested the OTT platform to have an eight-week gap for the streaming release. He further emphasised that this move can help other movies too.
He shared, “We requested them, it was not a negotiation or deal breaker. We wanted them to do this for us. Both the company and the OTT platform are experimenting with this together. And if it works, we would have made it easier to do both the businesses.”
He also revealed that he wrote the dance number ‘Jinguchaa’ for the film and Mani Ratnam also praised him for writing the perfect lyrics. While sharing the experience of penning the lyrics of a dance number, Kamal Haasan said, “I enjoyed it because it is very much unlike something I will write.” To this, Mani Ratnam praised him and shared how surprised he was as the actor perfected it.
The filmmaker added. “It is quite amazing because it is quite a difficult song. It takes us days to work on it and polish. When he called back to say it is ready, I was really surprised and it was perfect.”
Thug Life also stars Trisha, Silambarasan, Abhirami, Sanya Malhotra, Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, Rohit Saraf and Vaiyapuri.
