 - Sakshi Post

It is safe to say that Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's Thug Life is not only one of the most anticipated movies of the year, but it has also become one of the biggest disasters in recent cinema. Tamil cinema in recent times. There were many expectations riding on the movie since its announcement, and it was because of this that Thug Life made decent money from non-theatrical rights.

Once the film hit the theaters, the situation drastically changed.

Speculations also indicated that Netflix plans to release the film as soon as possible.

Thug Life OTT Release: Netflix Might Stream Film From June 27?
