The trailer of Thug Life was released on May 17. Starring Kamal Haasan, the movie is directed by Mani Ratnam, produced and written by Kamal Haasan. The movie also stars Silambarasan, Trisha Krishnan and Abhirami. The critics and fans loved the trailer of Thug Life, however, a section of people on social media criticised it for showing 70-year-old Kamal Haasan kissing a 42-year-old actress, Abhirami on the lips. Not just that, in the next scene, he is seen getting romantic with 42-year-old Trisha Krishnan in a steamy scene.

One of the internet users wrote, “He is an old man who is romancing a young woman. I feel there is a problem.” Another user asked, “Why is Kamal Haasan pretending to be young? He is romancing young girls. It is weird”.

There were a few who supported the actor saying, “There is nothing wrong as it’s a part of acting”. Another user said, “It’s the plot’s demand, it clearly shows the aged gangster having an affair with a younger woman.”
