Shruti Haasan lends her voice to dad Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life' after 16 years
Mani Ratnam's much-awaited action drama 'Thug Life' is all set for its theatrical release on June 5, and the buzz surrounding the film is growing by the day. With
Kamal Haasan
leading the cast, the film promises a gritty tale packed with high-stakes action and emotional depth.
Promotions for the film are in full swing, and recent revelations have further piqued audience curiosity, especially regarding the musical lineup.
In a recent interview with Behindwoods, Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman joined Kamal and the rest of the 'Thug Life' team to share a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the film's music. The highlight?
Shruti Haasan
has sung a powerful track titled 'Vinveli Nayakan', which is picturized on her father Kamal himself.
This emotional musical collaboration marks their first in 16 years, her last being in the 2009 film 'Unnaipol Oruvan.'
The song 'Vinveli Nayakan' is already being hailed as a major emotional anchor in the film. Fans are thrilled to see the real-life father-daughter duo share a creative connection once again. Shruti's distinct vocals, paired with Rahman's evocative composition, are expected to add a unique layer of intensity to the movie's narrative, especially given that the track supports a key moment in Kamal's character arc.

This is for my brother, my partner, my siblings, my mum, my dad—for everybody who made me believe that there is power in vulnerability. There is power in being yourself.

Anshula Kapoor on finding strength She also addressed the importance of finding strength in moments of brokenness.'This is also for all of those girls, those women—and anyone out there—who feels like they are lost and that they can't start a journey until they know exactly what the destination should be.
