With the entire buzz surrounding Thug Life reaching a peak, the advance bookings in Tamil Nadu suggest a promising opening. Directed by Mani Ratnam, the film creates enormous interest in Kamal Haasan since this is Ratnam’s first collaboration with the actor in nearly 40 years.
At 3 PM on June 1, Thug Life‘s Day 1 pre-sales in Tamil Nadu were ₹1.90 crore, with sales of 110,000 tickets, amounting to 985 shows across Tamil Nadu. With anticipation building in the lead-up to its June 5 theatrical release, we expect ticket sales to increase significantly in the last three days.
Will Thug Life Be Kamal Haasan‘s Biggest Opener In TN?
With the excitement continuing to build and a steady promotional push now underway, Thug Life looks set to be Kamal Haasan’s biggest ever opener in Tamil Nadu. If the film gets a good word-of-mouth once released, this will be one of the biggest money-spinners of the year for the industry.
The Mani Ratnam-directed project also stars Silambarasan (Simbu), Trisha Krishnan, Nassar, Ashok Selvan, and Aishwarya Lekshmi, with music by AR Rahman. The film’s teaser, songs, and trailer have received great acclaim, each boosting the film’s box-office prospects.
Pan-India Release and Hindi Clash with Housefull 5
Thug Life will be released in five languages — Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada — and will also take on Sajid Nadiadwala’s Housefull 5 in the Hindi-speaking belt. While both films target different audiences, the box office clash will keep people looking.
Thug Life will open on over 1,800 screens across the country, with Tamil Nadu leading most of the core business. Thug Life is set to release on June 5.
