Superstar Rajinikanth and veteran actor-director Kamal Haasan may be seen together in the same film after 46 years. Yes, director Lokesh Kanagaraj is planning to bring the veteran actors of Tamil cinema together, who are making a powerful gangster drama film, which will be produced by Kamal Haasan himself, and there are reports that Thalaiva Rajinikanth may be seen with Kamal in this film after a long time.

Historic comeback after 46 years

Both superstars last shared the screen in the film 'Ninaithale Inikkum' in 1979. After this, both of them achieved new heights in their respective journeys - Rajinikanth made his mark as a 'mass entertainer' on a large scale, while Kamal Haasan achieved a different position in the film world by choosing unique scripts and trying his hand at direction.

Now the news is that Lokesh Kanagaraj is bringing both the veterans together for this project. The story will be based on aging gangsters and the secrets related to their past. It is being said that the clash of the film will focus on violence, legacy, and unfinished enmity.

Rajinikanth's films's great earnings
This news has come at a time when Rajinikanth's recent release 'Coolie' may have received mixed reactions, but the film is steadily gaining momentum at the box office. On the other hand, Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life' could not attract the audience much and struggled in terms of collection. In such a situation, the coming together of both opens a new door of hope for the audience and the industry.

Kamal and Rajinikanth's friendship
Kamal Haasan recently shared an emotional note on social media on the completion of 50 years of Rajinikanth's career. He wrote that he considers Rajinikanth not only a friend but the real superstar of cinema and congratulated him on this achievement. This message of Kamal proved to strengthen the speculations of this project.

Lokesh Kanagaraj's statement

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has said many times that he has wanted Rajinikanth and Kamal to return to the screen together. In an interview, he said that this plan was made before the pandemic, but the project was stopped due to the worsening of the situation. Lokesh believes that this film is possible only when both the legends themselves decide to take it forward. He clearly said - 'If Rajinikanth and Kamal call me, I will leave everything and do this film.'

Challenges in front of Lokesh

Lokesh believes that it will not be easy to cast both the legends together. The personalities of both are so big that there will be huge challenges at the level of script, cast, and budget. But if this project moves forward, it will be one of the most talked-about films in the history of Tamil cinema.
