Director Mani Ratnam justified the thug life title: We are genes, it felt right
Director Mani Ratnam, who is known for adaptation over time over time, is back with the film ‘Thug Life’. In a press interaction in Mumbai, he opened about how the title came and how it reflects a conscious change towards young sensibilities.
Director Mani Ratnam is one of the few filmmakers who are still making impressive films and have been relevant for generations in the last 40 years. Speaking about the title of his upcoming film, ‘Thug Life’, he said that he was considering various options, and ‘Thug Jeevan’ was right because he feels the gene.
During a press interaction in Mumbai, director Mani Ratnam revealed that the title ‘Thug Life’ was suggested by Kamal Haasan. “It just felt right,” he said, explaining that they were searching for various options. He said, “We are Jean-Z,” reflecting changing trends and their awareness about developed audiences.
Actor Kamal Haasan said that how soon he finalized the title, he said, “We were watching different titles. We kept telling each other different options. He said yes for just one title. How soon we agreed to it.”
In recent times, the emphasis on the emphasis on changing generations and veteran directors has become increasingly important. Director Shankar said during the promotion of his previous film ‘Game Changer’ that he chose a very Instagram reel-style editing pattern to complete the Jane-Z audience.
