Buzz Builds for Thug Life as Shruti Haasan’s Song Goes Viral

Shruti Haasan — an acclaimed actress, singer, and music composer — is once again in the spotlight, this time for her powerful performance in the song Vinveli Nayaga from Kamal Haasan’s upcoming film Thug Life. Composed by the legendary A.R. Rahman and directed by master filmmaker Mani Ratnam, the song marks a unique collaboration featuring Kamal, Shruti, Rahman, and Mani Ratnam for the very first time.

Performed live by Shruti at the grand audio launch of Thug Life, Vinveli Nayaga became the standout moment of the evening. Her stunning vocals and stage presence brought the composition to life, earning widespread praise. A.R. Rahman’s decision to have Shruti lend her voice to this emotionally rich song added extra depth to Kamal Haasan’s character, and Shruti delivered it with perfection.

The track quickly went viral upon release, gaining massive popularity on social media and music platforms. Fans have embraced it wholeheartedly, with many calling it a playlist favorite. Telugu audiences, too, have expressed their admiration and are eagerly awaiting the release of the Telugu version, which is expected to generate equal, if not more, excitement.

Thug Life is an intense gangster drama set to hit screens worldwide on June 5. The film marks a monumental reunion between Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam, coming nearly three decades after their iconic Nayagan. The movie also boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Silambarasan, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Abhirami, Joju George, Tanikella Bharani, and Mahesh Manjrekar. It is jointly produced by Raaj Kamal Films International, Red Giant Movies, and Madras Talkies.

Meanwhile, Shruti Haasan has a packed lineup in her acting career. She will next be seen alongside Superstar Rajinikanth in Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, scheduled for release on August 14. She is also working on Train with Vijay Sethupathi and the highly anticipated Salaar 2 with Prabhas.

With Vinveli Nayaga already making waves, the anticipation around Thug Life — and Shruti Haasan’s multifaceted talent — is at an all-time high.
