Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan's reunion breaks the internet; the last time the two leading South stars shared the screen

Two of the biggest stars of Tamil cinema, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, acted together in many films in their early days. Films like 'Apoorva Ragangal,' 'Moondru Mudichu,' 'Avargal,' 'Pathinaru Vayathinilele,' and 'Niinthalle Inikum' are still fresh in the minds of the fans. The last time they worked together on screen was in K. Balachander's 'Thillu Mullu' (1981). Kamal Haasan appeared in a guest role in that film, mixing in a humorous scene with Rajinikanth's character.

Earlier rumors about Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan's reunion

After that, both of them went their separate ways and rose to superstar and megastar status. However, rumors that they would reunite after a break had started a few years ago during the COVID-19 period. At that time, there was talk of a film starring Rajinikanth, produced by Kamal, and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. But due to some reasons, the project did not progress.

Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth to come together under Lokesh Kanagaraj's direction

In this situation, the latest report took the internet by storm, and it suggests that Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan will be acting together in a film after 44 years. The film is said to be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and co-produced by Kamal Haasan. Filming is expected to begin late next year, and an official announcement is expected soon.

'Kaithi 2' to be postponed

Although the recently released Rajinikanth-Lokesh collaboration film 'Coolie' received mixed reviews, it has set a record by earning over Rs. 400 crore in 4 days, officially. After 'Coolie,' Lokesh Kanagaraj was planning to direct Kaithi 2. But now, it is said that it will be postponed due to the Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan pairing. It is worth remembering that the film 'Vikram,' which previously marked the director's association with Kamal Haasan, was a huge hit.
