Karnataka ensures smooth release of 'Thug Life'

Entertainment Jun 18, 2025

Kamal Haasan's new film Thug Life is facing a rocky start in Karnataka, with extra police on duty after the Supreme Court allowed its release.
Pro-Kannada groups are upset over Haasan's comments about Kannada and Tamil languages, leading to protests and warnings issued to key activists like Praveen Shetty to keep things peaceful.

Bengaluru Police issue warning to protestors

Bengaluru Police have reminded everyone that protests are only allowed at Freedom Park—anywhere else could mean legal trouble.
Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar also urged people to respect the law and avoid actions that might disturb public order.
The Supreme Court will review the situation again soon, keeping an eye on any attempts to disrupt the film's release.
