Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan’s much-anticipated reunion in ‘Thug Life’ has faced a setback, with several show cancellations reported over the weekend. The film, which was expected to be a major success, is now facing the possibility of becoming a significant box office disappointment. One notable cancellation occurred at the MGF theatre in Gurgaon, where the Hindi-dubbed version’s 3:45 PM show on Saturday was called off due to zero attendance. The film’s reception has been met with disappointment, particularly from fans of Kamal Haasan, who expressed a sense of betrayal. The age difference between Kamal Haasan and his co-stars, Abhirami and Trisha Krishnan, was also a point of discussion following the trailer release. Additionally, a ban in Karnataka further impacted the film’s prospects. Exhibitors in Bihar also reported show cancellations shortly after the film’s release, highlighting the challenging market reception.
