Amid escalations between India and Pakistan, actor
Kamal Haasan has announced that the audio launch of his upcoming film, ‘Thug Life’, originally scheduled for May 16, has now been postponed.
In a statement rekeased, the actor said,”In view of the developments at our nation’s border and the current state of heightened alert, we have decided to reschedule the audio launch of Thug Life, originally planned for the 16th of May.
As our soldiers stand firm on the frontlines with unflinching courage in defence of our motherland, I believe it is a time for quiet solidarity, not celebration. A new date will be announced at a later, more appropriate time.
At this time, our thoughts are with the brave men and women of our armed forces who stand vigilant, safeguarding our nation. As citizens, it is our duty to respond with restraint and solidarity. Celebration must make way for reflection.”
Directed by Mani Ratnam and also co starring Silambarasan and Trisha, ‘Thug Life’ will release in theatres on June 5. Music for the movie is by A R Rahman.
