Kalki 2898 AD star Kamal Haasan makes a strong statement about his bond with Rajinikanth; shares about the decision they took in their 20s
Kamal Haasan, who is gearing up for his big release Indian 2, recently talked about on the possibility of a reunion with Rajinikanth on-screen in an interview with The Indian Express. When asked if the two stalwarts will share screen space or make cameo appearances in each other's films in near future, Kamal Haasan said, "It's not a new combination. We have done many films together.
Then we decided not to work together. We are not like two competitors. We had the same mentor. Unlike any other place, the competition is there, openly. But there's no envy and it's two different paths,". The Hey Ram actor continued, "We also never make snide remarks about each other. We made this call when we were in our 20s; it's not that we became older and wiser now."
Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth acted together in nearly 16 films including Apoorva Raagangal, Aval Appadithan, 16 Vayathinile, Ilamai Oonjal Aadukirathu, Thillu Mullu and Ninaithale Inikkum. They were last seen in the Hindi film Geraftaar (1985), in which they featured alongside Amitabh Bachchan. After this, they haven't worked together till date. However, they share a cordial relationship and they often attend each other's events to show solidarity.
