One X (formerly Twitter) user posted videos of fans bursting firecrackers outside a single-screen theatre in Hosur. They wrote that fans travelled from Bengaluru to the theatre in Tamil Nadu to watch the film: “Thuglife is banned in Karnataka, but no one can stop our love for Kamal Haasan. All the fans in Bangalore are gathered here in Hosur!”Not just that, even on Reddit, some Kamal fans wondered if Tamil people would be offended by them travelling to Hosur to watch the film. One Redditor asked, “Big Kamal Haasan fan here from Bengaluru. Is it safe to come to Hosur tomorrow in bike to watch THUG LIFE. Don't get offended please... I just don't want my vehicle's tyre to be punctured or vehicle scratched.” Another answered that it should be safe, given that Hosur has many KA-registered vehicles, just like Bengaluru has many TN-registered ones. Others also assured the Redditor it would be safe.The Kannada language rowDespite Thug Life being Mani and Kamal’s first film in almost four decades after the 1987 film Nayakan, the actor’s statement during a promotional tour in Karnataka seems to have overshadowed it all. On Tuesday, the Karnataka High Court called the actor out for not apologising while hearing a plea seeking protection for the release of the film in the state. The judge stated that a ‘single apology’ could’ve ‘resolved the situation’, even questioning if the actor was a linguist or a historian.Thug Life stars Kamal, Silambarasan TR, Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, Rohit Saraf and Baburaj.
