This marks their reunion after an impressive 34-year hiatus, fueling excitement among fans. The principal photography has commenced, and director Sudha Kongara recently shared exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpses on social media.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Kongara posted images from the sets, capturing the vibrant energy of Mani Ratnam’s domain. In her tweet, she expressed, “Energy Booster – Mani Sir’s sets! #ManiRatnam #ThugLife #KH234” (@Sudha_Kongara).

The film, officially announced in November, features an ensemble cast, including Kamal Haasan, Jayam Ravi, Dulquer Salmaan, Trisha, Gautham Karthik, Nasser, Abhirami, Joju George, and Aishwarya Lekshmi.
