Thug Life audio launch postponed due to India-Pakistan tensions
Due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan, actor Kamal Haasan has postponed the audio launch event of his upcoming film Thug Life.
Kamal shared the news through a statement, which was titled “Art can wait. India comes first”. The event was scheduled for May 16. The actor shared that a new date will be announced at a “more appropriate time”.
“In view of the developments at our nation’s border and the current state of heightened alert, we have decided to reschedule the audio launch of Thug Life, originally planned for the 16th of May,” Kamal said in the statement.
He added, “As our soldiers stand firm on the frontlines with unflinching courage in defence of our motherland, I believe it is a time for quiet solidarity, not celebration. A new date will be announced at a later, more appropriate time. At this time, our thoughts are with the brave men and women of our armed forces who stand vigilant, safeguarding our nation. As citizens, it is our duty to respond with restraint and solidarity. Celebration must make way for reflection”.
Tensions between India and Pakistan were high following the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed lives of 26 people.
