Kamal Haasan’s ‘Thug Life’ Faces Casting Woes: Jayam Ravi Latest to Depart

After Dulquer Salmaan, the latest to walk out of his new film “Thug Life,” was heard to have been confirmed by none other than Jayam Ravi. Veteran actor Kamal Haasan’s film, which started shooting under Mani Ratnam, has again gotten a kick start.

Jayam Ravi, of course, walks out of the compulsions with prior commitments, he said, since there are no shoots scheduled for him in the next part.

According to a recent update, Jayam Ravi walked out of the project due to date problems. Of course, even before Jayam Ravi, rumors flew high in K-town that Dulquer Salmaan too may walk out of the movie as he is super busy with other movies. The curious thing is that both actors walked out of the same movie due to date problems. But there isn’t any official statement about the walkout of both heroes from the flick.

Among the cast are big names such as Kamal Haasan, Trisha, Gautham Karthik, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and Joju George. And now, the next schedule of the film that takes off, keeping the campaigning of Haasan for the Lok Sabha elections on the backdrop, looks at replacing the actors in its line-up—Dulquer Salmaan and Jayam Ravi.

The Serbian schedule of Kamal Haasan’s “Thug Life” got postponed as the star, making near-impossible time for his film commitments amidst his political initiatives, is now bogged down with work related to the Lok Sabha election. In “Ambu,”  Haasan is set to play three different kinds of characters that require diverse looks of the olden days for the period movie. 

The technical team of ‘Thug Life’ has cinematographer Ravi K. Chandran, editor Sreekar Prasad, whose association with Mani Ratnam dates back to many successful movies, Anbariv for action choreography, and Sharmistha Roy for production design.
