Rajinikanth and director Mani Ratnam had earlier collaborated on the 1991 film Thalapathi, however recently the filmmaker mentioned of a plausible project marking their reunion.
In an interview with News18, the director said, “I think you should ask Rajini sir. You should see… we never know. After Thug Life, I plan to take a break. I have four scripts in mind, but none of them are fully fleshed out yet. If nothing comes out of them, then that’s the end of it.”

The film also stars Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, among others.
