STR in Kamal's Thug Life

Our team that is hot on Thug Life shoot progress informs that STR has come on board in place of Dulquer who opted out of the film . Thug Life dates are now linked to Kamal’s political calendar. As DMK offered a Rajya Sabha seat for Kamal and in turn the Ulaga Nayagan will campaign for the INDIA ally. After this deal, Kamal has to be in India and more so after the poll announcement. So the art department has come back from Serbia and Thug Life is now going for a STR instead of DQ. DQ is an actor that is set to Mani’s direction already and STR had never been on the Director’s Wishlist. STR is already part of RKFI of Kamal and that project will start after May results. So an idle STR has been utilized instead by Madras Talkies. Another reason is that the idea to rewrite the DQ portion and extend Jeyam Ravi cameo has been dropped. Mani might have felt that as tedious and probably Kamal might have suggested STR as he has advanced for his own film banner and now RKFI dates goes to Madras Talkies and so Kamal’s money is safe. One reason for Kamal to sit on STR film is that Ishari Ganesh of Vels has told Film Federation of film financiers that STR had taken full payment for three films and now after Kamal film, he has rejected Corona Kumar and refusing to hear any Director send by him. In this situation, Ganesh wanted STR to return the money and till then Federation should block STR films. Now Thug Life is Red Giant film and so how effective will be is to be seen ? Ganesh now has not only lost money on his affection for STR and also a Doctorate presented by him on behalf of Vels University to STR.
