In a moment that sent shockwaves through the Indian film industry, Kamal Haasan announced at the SIIMA Awards 2025 in Dubai that he and Rajinikanth will share the screen again, marking their first collaboration in 46 years since 1979’s Ninaithale Inikkum.

This revelation has sparked a frenzy among fans, who have long awaited the reunion of Tamil cinema’s two titans. The announcement, delivered with Kamal’s signature humility, emphasized their mutual respect and passion, dispelling notions of rivalry. “We will come together,” he declared, setting the stage for a historic cinematic event.

While details about the film remain under wraps, industry buzz suggests it will be a gritty gangster drama directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his blockbusters Vikram (2022) with Kamal Haasan and Coolie (2025) with Rajinikanth.

Produced by Kamal’s Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI), the project is slated to begin filming in late 2026. This collaboration promises to blend the raw charisma of Rajinikanth with Kamal’s intense versatility, evoking nostalgia for their iconic 1970s films like Apoorva Raagangal, Moondru Mudichu, and 16 Vayathinile, which showcased their early chemistry under K. Balachander’s direction.

The significance of this reunion cannot be overstated. Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, both legends in their own right, have shaped Tamil cinema with their distinct styles and massive fan bases.

Their last joint venture, Ninaithale Inikkum, remains a beloved classic, and fans are eager to see how their dynamic will evolve in a modern cinematic landscape.

As anticipation builds, this project is poised to be a landmark in Indian cinema, uniting two icons for a new generation. Get ready for a film that will redefine epic collaborations!
