The trailer of Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life was released on Saturday and received largely positive reviews for its cinematic elements and music by A.R. Rahman. However, some viewers criticised the intimate scenes featuring lead actor Kamal Haasan with actresses Trisha and Abhirami. Both female actors are almost 30 years younger than the 70-year-old superstar.

Netizens criticise lip lock

In the trailer, there is a lip-lock scene between Kamal Haasan and Abhirami. He also shares an intimate moment with Trisha, as depicted in the trailer. Screenshots of the scenes were shared by a Reddit user who criticised them due to the significant age gap between the actors. The post, captioned “Nooo god, please no,” sparked a discussion around the noticeable age difference between Kamal Haasan and his female co-stars. Both Trisha and Abhirami are 42 years old.
