Actress Abhirami Responds To Controversy Over Kamal Haasan Lip-Lock Scene In Thug Life
The film is set for a grand theatrical release on June 5, 2025.
Actor Kamal Haasan’s upcoming movie Thug Life has stirred controversy ahead of its release. Recently, its trailer was launched and received a positive response from the audience.
However, a lip-lock scene between Kamal Haasan and actress Abhirami left some viewers uncomfortable.
In a recent interview, actress Abhirami addressed the controversy, saying: “I asked director Mani Ratnam why he chose me for the film. I always accept the decisions of my filmmakers, and I performed this scene willingly. The scene appears in just three shots. There are a lot of misunderstandings because of that clip, but I believe people will change their opinion after watching the full movie. I don’t think there will be further comments once the film is released. I feel there is no need to talk about it much. I urge people to watch the movie before making such remarks.”
Thug Life is directed by Mani Ratnam and stars Trisha, Simbu, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and Nassar in prominent roles. Its music is composed by AR Rahman. The film is set for a grand theatrical release on June 5, 2025.
