    What's the story

    Veteran actor Kamal Haasan has postponed the audio launch for his upcoming movie, Thug Life, which was scheduled for May 16.

    The event will now take place on a date to be announced later, amid escalations between India and Pakistan.

    In a statement titled Art can wait. India comes first, Haasan pointed to the current state of heightened alert as the reason for rescheduling.

    Solidarity

    Haasan expressed support for the armed forces 

    Haasan also extended his support to the armed forces in his statement.

    He said, "As our soldiers stand firm on the frontlines with unflinching courage in defense of our motherland, I believe it is a time for quiet solidarity, not celebration."

    The actor added, "Celebration must make way for reflection," and a new date for the audio launch will be announced later.
