Mani Ratnam's Thug Life: Dulquer Salmaan's role is replaced by Simbu

Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan previous collaboration in 'Nayakan' was a huge success, and expectations will be high for 'Thug Life'.

It's unfortunate that Dulquer Salmaan and Jayam Ravi had to withdraw due to scheduling conflicts, but the addition of Simbu and potentially Arvind Swamy will certainly add to the film's appeal. Simbu's involvement, if confirmed, will be interesting to see, especially given his commitment to dedicate 60 days for this project.

The ensemble cast, including Trisha, Nassar, Abhirami, Gautham Karthik, Joju George, and Aishwarya Lekshmi, promises a lot of depth and variety in performances. With AR Rahman handling the music, audiences can expect a soulful and memorable soundtrack that complements the film's period setting.

Given that the shooting is progressing at a slow pace, it's likely that the filmmakers are taking their time to ensure the quality and authenticity of the project. Fans will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting more updates and possibly a teaser or trailer to get a glimpse of what's in store.

Overall, 'Thug Life' seems to be a film that combines the talents of some of the industry's best, and it will be exciting to see how the story unfolds on the big screen.
