Thug Life starring Kamal Haasan and Simbu released today. The film, despite having great expectations, suffered in getting positive reviews and received a below-par report from a major section of audiences. The film is heading towards a disaster. There is also great criticism regarding the direction, writing, and character portrayals of the film. Netizens also pointed out the brave decision of Dulquer Salmaan and Jayam Ravi opting out of the film, who were initially considered for Simbu’s role.
Mollywood Actor, Dulquer Salmaan, was the initial choice for the team to rope him in for the character of Simbu, who played Amar in Thug Life. But the Actor came out of the film, and later the team approached Kollywood Actor Jayam Ravi, who had also exited. The role then finally landed in Simbu’s hands making it his second collaboration with Director Mani Ratnam after their Chekka Chivantha Vaanam.
Simbu’s character appeared dominant in the Trailer and other content of Thug Life that was out before the release. Many thought that he would steal the show when the film was released. But shockingly, his character made no mark, and Netizens have slammed the Actor for agreeing to the role. They also wondered why Simbu showed great interest in this character in such a shabby film.
Netizens also expressed that Dulquer Salmaan and Jayam Ravi haven’t missed acting in this film, but escaped the result just by a miss. This would have been an embarrassment for both Actors, which now Simbu had to face. As Netizens opined, Simbu should have ignored this film right away.
