Nani expresses happiness as Kamal Haasan utters his name in an interview

Time and again, Nani has established his love for veteran actor Kamal Haasan. Recently, while promoting HIT 3, Nani spoke about a particular scene from Kamal Haasan’s Virumaandi, where the latter's method of depicting sleep inspired the former.

Kamal Haasan, who is currently busy promoting his upcoming film with Mani Ratnam, Thug Life, recently mentioned Nani’s name in an interview in the context of that particular scene. Speaking with Sudhir Srinivasan, the actor mentioned Nani’s name and said, “I don’t have to express my gratitude by saying, ‘Thank you, Nani. If I say Nani itself, it is enough. That is the beauty of cinema itself.”

Following this, Nani took to his official X handle to write, “Podhum sir. Podhum” and further also tagged Kamal Haasan in the post. The post expressed his elation, as mentioned by Kamal Haasan himself.

On the work front, Nani is coming fresh off the success of HIT: The Third Case. He currently has Srikanth Odela’s The Paradise in the pipeline, which also stars Sonali Kulkarni.

Thug Life also stars Trisha, Silambarasan, Abhirami, Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nassar, Joju George, Mahesh Manjrekar, Tanikella Bharani, Vadivukkarasi, Chinni Jayanth, Vaiyapuri, Bagavathi Perumal, Baburaj, Ali Fazal, Rohit Saraf, Arjun Chidambaram, Chetan, and Rajashri Deshpande.

Thug Life marks Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan's reunion after 36 years since their hit outing, Nayakan. The technical crew of Thug Life features cinematographer Ravi K Chandran, music director AR Rahman, editor Sreekar Prasad and action directors Anbariv. The film is a co-production between Udhayanidhi's Red Giant Movies, Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Film International, and Mani Ratnam's Madras Talkies.

Thug Life is all set to hit theatres on June 5.
