There is nothing wrong in these two lines (except excessive new ThreadStart which does not hurt). The problem is somewhere outside those two.

First of, all, let me offer you the good way of working with threads by using a thread wrapper. Please see my past answers:
How to pass ref parameter to the thread[^],
change paramters of thread (producer) after it started[^].

I could also bring you to the right idea.

its doesn't allow me to get inside the function .. i just want that the function should run. if i put a break point inside the function the debugger must notify me that you are on break point. can you please write here the code for that.

The code for a break point? As stated, there is nothing wrong with that snippet of code that you posted. Whatever problem you are really having lies elsewhere.

Broken debugger..? :-)
Maybe everything works somehow already, OP just needs to test it by adding, say, logging from the thread...
