The second single from Mani Ratnam’s much-anticipated film Thug Life has dropped — and it’s everything fans didn’t see coming. Titled Sugar Baby, the song is a sizzling visual and musical feast that’s already making waves across social media. With Trisha Krishnan donning a bold, never-before-seen avatar, the track is stirring up both admiration and debate in equal measure.
Trisha Shines in a Bold New Light
In the lyrical video, Trisha stuns in a flowing white saree paired with elegant pearl chokers, exuding grace and fire in equal measure. As the beat pulses, she takes center stage with a magnetic performance, flanked by a dynamic group of background dancers. A segment of the video even features her recording the song in a studio, adding a raw, behind-the-scenes charm to the experience.
Adding more emotional weight to the video are fleeting yet intimate moments between Trisha and Kamal Haasan. The chemistry is unexpected, and the age-gap pairing has triggered a whirlwind of reactions online. Silambarasan TR, too, makes a significant entry during Trisha’s on-stage performance, fueling speculation about the character dynamics in the film.
A.R. Rahman’s Signature Magic
Composed by the legendary A.R. Rahman, Sugar Baby is rich with sonic experimentation. The maestro has not only composed the track but also co-written the lyrics with Siva Ananth. Vocals are powerfully rendered by Alexandra Joy, Shuba, and Sarath Santhosh, with Shuba also handling the rap portions. The blend of sultry melodies and modern beats is earning praise from music lovers and cinephiles alike.
Online Reactions: From Applause to Satire
As expected, the internet wasted no time chiming in. Reactions ranged from witty to harsh. One user quipped, “Sugar varavendiya vayasula innum baby ah irukum” Trisha”—implying Trisha is still a ‘baby’ at an age when sugar (diabetes) should be the concern. Another trolled the onscreen chemistry with, “Sugar baby Trisha... Sugar daddy Kamal...” The satire didn’t stop there, as fans poked fun at Simbu’s supposed reaction to the song, imagining a conversation where Mani Ratnam assures him the moment belongs to Kamal instead.
A Glimpse into Thug Life
Following the foot-tapping success of its first single Jinguchaa, featuring Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan, and Sanya Malhotra, Sugar Baby raises the bar. The film boasts a star-studded ensemble that includes Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Abhirami, Ashok Selvan, and Joju George. Expectations are sky-high, especially with Rahman’s music and Ratnam’s direction at the helm.
Trisha Breaks Silence on Trolls and Age Gap Criticism
At a recent pre-release event in Mumbai, Trisha addressed the criticism head-on. When asked about her pairing with Kamal Haasan, she said she had anticipated the backlash even before signing the film. “I think that’s something I knew when they announced the film… I was not even part of the film at that point. And I thought, wow, this is magic.”
She went on to describe the surreal experience of sharing the creative space with two legends: Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam. “We were like, ‘Oh damn, we have to stop staring at them and actually do some work here.’ It was pure magic.”
This is the second time Trisha and Kamal will share screen space. They came together earlier for the 2015 action thriller 'Thongaa Vanam'.
