About Kamal and Rajini's collaborations
Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth, two of Tamil cinema's biggest icons, previously shared the screen in several memorable 1980s films, including Apoorva Raagangal, 16 Vayathinile, Moondru Mudichu, Thappu Thalangal, and Ninaithale Inikkum. It has been 46 years since they have shared screen and fans have been eagerly awaiting their reunion.
Earlier this year, when Haasan was asked about the possibility of sharing screen with the Coolie star, he said, "Yes, I have acted in many films with Rajini. We will act together again."
Rajinikanth also expressed interest in collaborating with Haasan on screen. "Kamal and I do wish to act together. If we get the right story and characters, we will act together. But as of now, no one has finalised the story, characters, or director," the superstar who is currently shooting for Jailer 2 had said.

The superstar had a great year so far with the release of Lokesh Kanagaraj directed Coolie. The film also starred Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Rachita Ram, Upendra, and Aamir Khan, and achieved box office earnings exceeding Rs 500 crore worldwide, making it the fourth highest-grossing Indian film of 2025.
The superstar is currently filming Nelson Dilipkumar's Jailer 2.
