Overview

• During a promotional event for the upcoming film 'Thug Life,' Kamal Haasan made a joke about co-star Trisha Krishnan involving a dish called pazham pori, which included a sexual innuendo.
• The joke, where Haasan quipped, 'She doesn’t know the name but likes putting it in her mouth,' was met with laughter from Trisha but drew backlash online after the video went viral.
• Social media users criticized the comment as 'disgusting' and 'inappropriate,' while others defended it as a lighthearted moment taken out of context.
• Supporters argued that the remark was a common phrase in Tamil households and that Haasan's subsequent pat on Trisha's knee showed it was meant in jest.
• 'Thug Life,' directed by Mani Ratnam and featuring an ensemble cast, is set for a June 5, 2025 release and marks Haasan and Ratnam's first collaboration since 1987's 'Nayakan.'
