In a surprising turn of events, Dulquer Salmaan’s departure from Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam’s much-anticipated project, “Thug Life,” has left room for speculation and adjustments in the casting lineup. The Malayali star’s scheduling conflicts led to his replacement by Simbu, while Jayam Ravi’s departure due to similar date constraints has prompted rumors of Ashok Selvan stepping into his role.
Though yet to be officially confirmed, the buzz surrounding Ashok Selvan’s potential inclusion in the action-packed gangster drama has set tongues wagging across Kollywood. With notable successes like “Oh My Kadavule” and “Por Thozhil” under his belt, Selvan’s potential involvement in “Thug Life” could mark a significant milestone in his burgeoning career.
“Thug Life” boasts an ensemble cast featuring industry stalwarts such as Trisha Krishnan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Gautham Karthik, and Nasser. Furthermore, the addition of Bollywood luminaries Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Sanya Malhotra adds an extra layer of intrigue to this high-profile project.
Set to hit screens later this year, “Thug Life” promises to be a cinematic spectacle, underscored by the musical mastery of none other than AR Rahman himself. With casting changes and rumors swirling, anticipation for this blockbuster entertainer continues to soar, signaling yet another milestone in the illustrious careers of its esteemed cast and crew.
