He was speaking at the NEXA SIIMA Awards in Dubai.
At a recent awards function in Dubai, the show’s host asked Kamal Haasan about rumours of a possible reunion in a movie with Superstar Rajinikanth after a gap of 46 years. Confirming the news, Kamal Haasan says, “But this is not news to me. We’ve been itching to work together for a long time. Like how a biscuit was being split into two, we had then demanded that we each be given a whole biscuit each. Now we’ve found the joy again to realise that we are both happy with just that half biscuit again. So we’ll come together.”
He went on to add that this news may be shocking to the business of cinema, but to both of them, “it just feels like a natural event that should have happened much sooner.” He also added that it was always in their plan to act in each other’s production, but that they kept pushing it to later. The time has finally come to reunite, the actor declared.
In late August, there were rumours that Lokesh Kanagaraj could be directing this film starring both superstars. The rumoured film is also said to be produced by Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films. This project was to go on floors before the COVID-19 pandemic, but was put on hold. The two superstars are reported to be playing ageing gangsters in the film, although there has been no official confirmation about the same. Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth were last seen together back in 1979’s Alauddinum Albhutha Vilakkum, directed by Malayalam movie director IV Sasi.
Lokesh Kanagaraj, whose last film was Coolie, might release Kaithi 2 as his next film. Following the success of Kaithi (2019), Lokesh and Karthi officially confirmed the sequel Kaithi 2. The first film, which followed the gripping story of ex-convict Dilli, became a cult classic for its fiery action sequences and detailed narrative. Lokesh and Karthi’s recent social media post, where the actor presented the director with his signature silver kada, sent fans into a frenzy.
