Interesting choice for first single. I was expecting something more action-packed given the title "Thug Life". But knowing Mani Ratnam, there's probably deeper meaning behind this wedding song concept.

After 35 years, Nayakan combo is back! Just the thought gives me goosebumps. Kamal sir writing lyrics too? This is going to be legendary. June 5th can't come soon enough!

Respectfully, I hope they don't overhype this. The cast is amazing but I've been disappointed by big ensemble films before. That said, with Mani Ratnam directing, chances are good it'll deliver.
