Picture Credit: X Director Phanindra Narsetti helmed his second feature film, '8 Vasantalu', which hit theatres on June 20, 2025. The film received mixed reviews, and the director recently revealed a surprising detail about his initial casting choices. During an interview with iDream, Phanindra shared that he had initially envisioned '8 Vasantalu' with two of Indian cinema's biggest stars, Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone and Tamil star Suriya , in the lead roles. "I wanted to make the movie '8 Vasanthalu' with adults," he shared. "I wrote it keeping Suriya and Deepika Padukone in mind. That's why the dialogues are so strong." However, the final version of the film featured newcomers Ananthika Sanilkumar, Hanu Reddy , and Ravi Teja Duggirala. The shift in casting, Phanindra explained, came after a discussion with the producers. "When I took the story to the producers, they said it would be better with newcomers. They were concerned that I might face difficulties working with stars, or that the story could be altered in the process," he said. After considering their advice, the director agreed to go ahead with fresh faces. The film also features Kanna Pasunoori , Sanjana Hardageri, Mettu Nishesh, and Sumant Nitturkar in key roles.

'Thug Life' OTT release: Kamal Haasan's starrer makes its OTT debut in multiple languages; find out where to watch
Picture Credit: Facebook After a disappointing theatrical release, the massive star-studded Kamal Haasan 's action-packed gangster drama 'Thug Life' has finally made its digital debut. The Mani Ratnam directorial, which hit the big screens on June 5 amid massive expectations, is now streaming on OTT. The film is now streaming on Netflix in five languages—Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam—from July 2. — Netflix_INSouth (@Netflix_INSouth) Despite the film's initial hype, 'Thug Life' came out as a disaster after failing to pull box office numbers. Initially, the makers had announced that the movie wouldn't arrive on digital platforms before completing an eight-week theatrical window. However, in a change of plans, 'Thug Life' arrived on OTT just under a month after its release. Netflix India officially confirmed the streaming release with a post on X (formerly Twitter): "Ithu Rangaraya Sakthivel-kum yamanukum nadakura poti. Watch Thug Life, now on Netflix in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam." 'Thug Life' is the story of Rangaraaya Sakthivel , a notorious gangster played by Kamal Haasan. During a violent shootout with a rival gang, Sakthivel saves and subsequently adopts a young orphan named Amaran, mistaking him for the boy who protected him during the crossfire. Years later, as Sakthivel returns from prison, he is faced with a dramatically changed world, one where Amaran has risen in influence and begun to be seen as his successor. The plot takes a dark turn as Amaran, now an adult, falls prey to manipulations and plots Sakthivel's assassination. The movie also features Silambarasan TR , Trisha Krishnan , Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nassar, Rohit Saraf , Joju George, and Mahesh Manjrekar. The music has been composed by Oscar winner AR Rahman. 'Thug Life' is the second collaboration between Kamal Haasan and director Mani Ratnam after the 1987 film 'Nayakan.' The film opened to mixed to negative reviews due to its pacing and weak storyline, which also led to a poor box office run. While it may not have made the desired impact in theaters, its OTT release gives the film a second life and perhaps a better chance to reach its intended audience.
