Rajinikanth And Kamal Haasan Together!
Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan are two pillars of Tamil cinema if not Indian cinema. While Rajinikanth is known for his mass and his ability to pull most number of people into theatres, Kamal Haasan is all about class and perfection. Though Kamal was an established actor when Rajinikanth made his debut as an actor, Rajini managed to woo audience with his style and sense of humour and ultimately became the king of Kollywood.
Even amidst a tough competition, the two have a good understanding for each other. Rajinikanth has even said that it was Kamal Haasan who helped him to grow in the industry by showing him the correct path. He has even said that his and Kamal's mentor K.Balachander would in fact compare Rajinikanth with Kamal Haasan and would ask Rajinikanth to observe Kamal Haasan while he's at work to enhance his own acting skills.
Decades after, both have become such a prominent personalities in Kollywood that people would even die to watch them together on screen once again. Questions pertaining to their collaboration have been asked to both actors innumerable times before and both have come up with diplomatic answers until Kamal opened up about their possible collaboration on his 60th birthday when he said that he might do a film with the Superstar in near future.
Though it might be difficult to see them on screen once again, it should not be forgotten that they have worked together in the past before until one day when they decided to take their respective paths. They have worked in 9 Tamil movies, 2 Telugu movies and in 1 Hindi movie together.
