Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth reunion: The 'Thug Life' actor says, "We share the same biscuit"

Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan are the two leading stars of the South; however, the actors, who worked together in multiple films in the early stages of their careers, haven't shared the screen space in the last four decades. So, one of the biggest questions in Tamil cinema has been the long-awaited expectation of fans as to whether Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan will work together in the same film again. Kamal Haasan gave a direct answer to this question at the recent SIIMA Awards. While accepting the award for his film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' he was asked, “Will you reunite with Rajinikanth on screen again?” and he gave a candid answer.Kamal Haasan said, “I don’t know if this is a sure thing. But if the fans are happy, we will be happy too. If not, we will keep trying. In fact, we have never had any competitive spirit. It was the fans and the media who created that fantasy. There was never any division between us," he said. He added, "We both shared the same biscuit. Half for one, half for the other. That's enough for us. We're both happy with that," he interestingly noted.Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth acted together in many films in their early days, like 'Apoorva Raagangal,' 'Moondru Mudichu,' 'Pathinaaru Vayathinile,' and 'Ninaithale Inikkum.' Although over time, both of them went their separate ways and rose to superstar status, their relationship always remained friendly. Kamal Haasan's announcement that the two, who have shared the same stage in various shows in recent years, will now share the screen has created great excitement among fans.In this situation, although Lokesh Kanagaraj had said that he would direct 'Coolie' after 'Kaithi 2' as his next film, it has been reported that he is now planning to start the Rajini-Kamal pairing film as a priority. This grand venture will be jointly produced by two leading production houses. The reunion of two great actors is set to create history in the Tamil film industry, not only commercially but also in terms of making the fans' dreams come true.
