Kamal Haasan on Working with Mohanlal and Mammootty
Kamal Haasan, one of indian cinema’s most versatile and visionary actors, is currently in the spotlight as he promotes his upcoming film Thug Life, directed by the legendary Mani Ratnam. This high-profile project has already generated significant excitement, not only because of the powerful names associated with it but also due to its sleek promotional campaign that has captivated fans across the country. With Kamal’s intense screen presence and Mani Ratnam’s nuanced storytelling, Thug Life is expected to be a cinematic event when it hits theatres on june 5, 2025. The film also boasts a powerhouse cast featuring Trisha, Silambarasan, Nassar, ashok Selvan, and Joju George, with musical maestro A.R. rahman lending his genius to the soundtrack.
During a recent promotional event, kamal haasan was asked about the possibility of collaborating with malayalam cinema titans mohanlal and Mammootty—a topic that immediately sparked excitement among fans. Kamal revealed that while he has previously shared screen space with mohanlal, he believes that one film isn’t enough to do justice to their potential as a duo. On the other hand, he expressed a strong desire to work with mammootty, lamenting that an opportunity hasn’t materialized yet but affirming that he remains open to it. His candid and respectful acknowledgment of both actors reflects his deep admiration for their craft and his commitment to meaningful cinema.
However, Kamal was quick to point out that such a collaboration must be built on a foundation of substance, not just star power. “They are great actors, and you can’t waste them,” he emphadata-sized, making it clear that he values artistic integrity over superficial spectacle. A film bringing together Kamal, mohanlal, and mammootty would indeed be a landmark moment in indian cinema—but only if the story rises to the occasion. Until then, fans can look forward to Thug Life, a film that already promises a blend of layered storytelling, powerful performances, and cinematic grandeur across multiple languages.
