Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam are back together for a big film—Thug Life, and it's already making waves even before release. While the film is set to hit cinemas first, fans are also keen to know when and where they can watch it online. Here's a quick look at what to expect from the OTT release.
Thug Life will not be available on OTT immediately after its cinema release. Since it is also releasing in Hindi, it must follow an 8-week exclusivity rule for Hindi films. This means the film will likely be available to stream online around August 2025, after completing its theatrical run. So, fans will have to wait just a bit longer to watch it at home.
