Eight weeks, not too long

Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life is one of the most anticipated films this year. After a theatrical run, the film will stream on OTT on August 7, eight weeks after its June 5 cinema release. At a promotional event in New Delhi, on Monday, Kamal explained the decision to opt for an eight-week theatrical window for Thug Life and how he hopes others will follow suit. The movie will break the mould with an eight-week OTT window, unlike most Tamil films, including Thalapathy Vijay’s GOAT (2023), which typically follow a four-week window. About this decision, Kamal said, “We requested them [OTT platforms], it was not a negotiation or deal breaker. We wanted them to do this for us. Both the company and OTT platform are experimenting this together. And if it works, we would have made it easier to do both the businesses.” Earlier, at an event in Mumbai, he had said, “It’s the pragmatic thing to do. I am glad that the OTT partners sat down with us and agreed. It wasn’t a negotiation, it was a plan. We hope others can follow this.”
