When an auteur like Mani Ratnam returns to a genre he is known for, with a maverick multihyphenate like Kamal Haasan, the expectations are naturally high; the worst result one could anticipate is a film that works but doesn’t necessarily redefine the genre. Seldom would you expect a Thug Life, which bafflingly feels like a Mani Ratnam-ish film that gave in to the mainstream compulsion of being a modern-day Tamil potboiler.

InSuper Deluxe, Thiagarajan Kumaraja walks us through narrow lanes of a city, with dry walls guarding frames tinged with saturated hues. As it is, there’s nothing flashy that indicates it’s Chennai (the film was set and shot in the city), but the filmmaker held a fascinatingly hyperreal lens on Chennai, showing an urban landscape you are most familiar with, but in a world only imagined. Cities have distinct energies, a sense of controlled chaos that only cinema comes close to simulating.

Tamil star Silambarasan TR, while promoting his upcoming film, Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan, opened up to the idea of playing Indian cricketing legend Virat Kohli in a potential biopic. This comes weeks after Virat’s tweet on the star’s ‘Nee Singam Dhan’ song triggered posts calling Simbu the right fit to play the cricketer.

One could feel the gravity of the moment when Silambarasan TR made his grand entry at the audio launch of Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan 2 in 2022. It was the star’s first major public appearance as ‘Ātman,’ a new version of Simbu who embraced spirituality and returned to the limelight after a lull phase marked by box office duds, controversies, and fitness concerns.

Imagine an ordinary person, poor, lonely and single, naively daydreaming about situations as follows. What if I could fly to a foreign country, preferably with a large Tamil diaspora, like Malaysia, and meet a stunningly gorgeous woman, like that actress from Sapta Saagardaache Ello? It would be a bummer if our paths don’t cross often, and so what if she lives opposite my house and we take the same train to reach our day jobs?
