Mani Ratnam apologises after Thug Life’s failure
Director Maniratnam has opened up on the debacle earned by his movie and expressed apologies for not living up to the expectations.
The director said that the team was unable to deliver something like Nayakan, which audiences wanted to witness on screen.
“For those who were expecting another Nayakan from the two of us, all I can say is we are sorry. It was never our intention to go back. Why should we? We wanted to do something completely different. I think more than over-expectation, it was another expectation. The audience expected something far removed from what we delivered, ” he added.
The film, which also stars Ali Fazal, Trisha, and Mahesh Manjrekar, was expected to be a masterpiece, but it severely disappointed fans and critics.
