Tamil star Silambarasan TR has been making headlines for his alleged involvement in Kamal Haasan’s upcoming and awaited movie Thug Life. The movie marks the veteran actor’s reunion with filmmaker Mani Ratnam. While the movie’s cast is being discussed widely, its makers are gearing up for a new announcement. Fans believe that it is about Silambarasan’s first look.
Thug Life was earlier announced with a star-studded cast. Besides Haasan in the lead role, the movie also featured Dulquer Salmaan, Jayam Ravi, and Trisha in pivotal roles. However, reports claimed that Salmaan and Jayam Ravi walked out of the movie due to scheduling issues. As a result, Silambarasan was allegedly cast to replace Dulquer Salmaan.
