Amid rising tension between India and Pakistan, superstar Kamal Haasan has postponed the audio launch of his upcoming film 'Thug Life'. The statement came on Friday morning, a week before the scheduled audio launch event in Chennai on May 16. He said that the audio launch has been rescheduled and the new date will be announced later at a "more appropriate time". Thug Life is one of the highly anticipated upcoming movies in the Indian cinema. Directed by Mani Ratnam, the film marks the much-awaited reunion of the actor Kamal Haasan with the director after their previous collaboration in Nayakan (1987).
In a statement titled, "Art can wait. India comes first", Kamal Haasan expressed his "solidarity" with the Indian Army, highlighting the need for "restraint" in celebrations (movie's audio launch) amid the rising tensions at the nation's borders.
