The much-anticipated trailer of Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan and Simbu, and directed by Mani Ratnam, has finally been released — and it’s taking the internet by storm. The film is scheduled for a grand worldwide release on June 5.

The trailer opens with Kamal Haasan introducing Simbu as the one who will inherit his legacy:

“I’ll be watching from inside… Amar will watch from outside.”

However, tension brews as ideological differences emerge between the mentor and his protégé. Their conflict intensifies, culminating in a fierce power struggle where each challenges the other:

“Will you win? Or will I?”

The trailer showcases intense performances by both Kamal Haasan and Simbu, highlighting a dynamic blend of emotion and aggression. Alongside them, Trisha and Aishwarya Lekshmi appear in powerful supporting roles, while Abhirami is seen playing Kamal’s pair in the film.

With A.R. Rahman delivering a gripping score and Mani Ratnam’s trademark visual storytelling, Thug Life promises to be a cinematic spectacle. The trailer has significantly heightened expectations, with fans eagerly awaiting what many believe could be Kamal’s next blockbuster after Vikram — and a defining milestone in Simbu’s career.
