The producers of Thug Life had earlier decided that the movie would not be released in Karnataka. The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) had said it would not let Thug Life release unless Kamal Haasan apologised for his “Kannada was born out of Tamil” remar at a promotional event in Chennai. The actor’s banner Raajkamal Films International filed a plea before the Karnataka High Court seeking protection for the release of the film. After a rap from the court over the remark, the producers made the decision to not screen the movie in Karnataka.

The gangster drama is directed by Mani Ratnam and produced by Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies. Thug Life also stars Trisha Krishnan, T.R. Silambarasan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, and Mahesh Manjrekar in key roles.
