Mumbai, November 28 (IANS). Ali Fazal has completed the shooting of director Mani Ratnam’s Tamil language pan India film ‘Thug Life’. The actor described the journey as unprecedented and admitted that the two months he spent under Mani Ratnam’s direction had changed his life as an actor.

He told that the last two months have been very special for him. During this time I have learned a lot. I’ve worked on learning Tamil, immersing myself in a new cinematic culture, and pushing my creative boundaries.
Praising the filmmaker’s ability, Ali said, “Mani sir creates a world that is extremely entertaining and rich. I can say with full confidence that this film will bring a cinematic magic to audiences across India and beyond.” I can’t wait to share this magic with the audience.
