It's our fault for waiting for so long to come together. We were in search of better scripts and it took this long for us to collaborate. We are now working together again because of you, the audience - who want us to work together again. We should have collaborated earlier. I’m sorry.”Kamal Haasan, who has co-written Thug Life with Mani Ratnam, also added that he was reminded of working with renowned director K Balachander, who is his mentor and guru, when he worked with Mani Ratnam. “I am reminded of K Balachander when I see Mani Ratnam’s style of working. He knows what a huge compliment this is. This is our mutual respect. I even have a nickname for Mani Ratnam! ‘Anju ara’ Mani Ratnam (meaning 5.30 am Mani Ratnam) because of how early he was every single day during the shoot,” he said.On Trisha and AbhiramiKamal Haasan who is known for his romances on screen also spoke about the two ladies in the film – Trisha and Abhirami – saying, “The two ladies don’t say ‘I love you’ to me – instead it is Joju George who does!
