Tamil cinema fans are buzzing with excitement as superstar Rajinikanth confirmed talks for a historic on-screen reunion with fellow icon Kamal Haasan, marking their first collaboration in nearly 46 years. Speaking to reporters at Chennai airport on Wednesday, the 74-year-old legend revealed that the project, still in early stages, will be a joint venture between Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International and Red Giant Movies.

“We are planning a film together,” Rajinikanth said, sparking anticipation among fans. “Kamal and I want to do this, but the director and script are yet to be finalized. If we find the right story and roles, we will act.” The announcement has sent waves through the industry, promising a cinematic spectacle featuring two of Tamil cinema’s most charismatic and enduring stars.

Rajinikanth and Haasan, who last shared the screen in the 1979 fantasy film Alavuddinum Athbutha Vilakkum, have a storied history, having collaborated in classics like 16 Vayathinile (1977), Aval Appadithan (1978), and Ninaithale Inikkum (1979). Their reunion after decades is a dream come true for fans who have long awaited another chance to see their electrifying chemistry.

Both stars remain powerhouses in Tamil cinema. Rajinikanth is gearing up for Jailer 2, the sequel to his 2023 blockbuster Jailer, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, who also helmed Rajinikanth’s recent hit Coolie (August 2025). Meanwhile, Haasan captivated audiences in Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life, released in June 2025, further cementing his legacy as a versatile actor and filmmaker.

The potential reunion has sparked speculation about the kind of project that could unite these titans. Industry insiders suggest the film could blend their signature styles—Rajinikanth’s larger-than-life charisma and Haasan’s nuanced intensity—potentially redefining Tamil cinema for a new generation. As fans eagerly await updates on the director and storyline, this collaboration promises to be a landmark moment in Indian cinema history.
