Probably the two biggest stars of Tamil Cinema Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth will be coming together on the big screen for the first time after 46 years. Haasan confirmed the news stating that after a long time the two stars will be sharing screen space in an upcoming movie.
Haasan stated that both of them had shared screen a long time ago but decided to refrain from it so they don’t have to split the dough and earn as much as they can. Now, however, they are content with whatever they have had and are coming back together.
The veteran actor said, “We were united long ago, but chose to remain apart because they kept splitting a biscuit and giving us only half each. We wanted a full biscuit each, and we got it and relished it well. Now we are content with just half a biscuit again, so we have come together.”
Haasan also pointed out that there’s no competition between them and all the fuss around that has been by their fans who pitched them against each other. He stated that even though people are shocked and surprised by their reunion, both legends are not that surprised as they expected it to happen.
“That we got such opportunities is a huge deal. We had decided long ago to be like this and to set an example. That’s how he has been, and that’s how I have been. So while this reunion might be surprising business-wise, we aren’t that surprised. We are just glad that something that was supposed to happen a long time ago is happening now,” added Haasan.
Both Haasan and Rajinikanth started their careers together around 5 decades ago in the 1970s. The duo starred together in several films like Apoorva Raagangal, Moondru Mudichu, Anthuleni Katha, Avargal, 16 Vayathinile, Aadu Puli Aattam, Ilamai Oonjal Aadukirathu, Thappu Thalangal, Aval Appadithaan, Thaayillamal Naan Illai, and Ninaithale Inikkum. Alavuddinum Athbutha Vilakkum (1979) was the last film that featured both the actors in lead roles.
