Kamal Haasan-Rajinikanth Film Confirmed: Lokesh Kanagaraj to Direct Dream Collaboration

Indian cinema just got its biggest announcement of the decade, Kamal Haasan officially confirmed a film with Rajinikanth, ending weeks of speculation. The legendary actor announced it on stage at the SIIMA Awards 2025 in Dubai and thrilled fans across the globe. This project brings Kamal and Rajini together in a full-fledged collaboration after 46 years, making it one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema.

Kamal Haasan Confirms the Big News

When host Sathish asked him about the rumours, Kamal confirmed the project with a smile and joked about their long separation. He said, “We united long ago, but they kept splitting a biscuit and giving us only half each. We wanted a full biscuit then, now we feel happy with half a biscuit again, so we have come together.” He also clarified that the so-called “competition” between him and Rajini never existed and that others created it. Kamal said, “We always respected each other’s work. We decided long ago to set an example and show that we collaborate more than we compete.”

Lokesh Kanagaraj Likely to Helm the Film

Kamal did not reveal more details, but industry buzz strongly points to Lokesh Kanagaraj directing the film. Lokesh, who created the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), already directed Kamal in Vikram and Rajinikanth in Coolie. Fans call him the perfect choice to handle this historic reunion. Lokesh often expressed his dream to direct both superstars together, and now he finally gets his chance.

Why This Reunion Matters

This collaboration holds historic importance because Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth last acted together in lead roles in the 1979 film Alavuddinum Athbutha Vilakkum. Both actors started their careers under legendary director K. Balachander and went on to star together in classics like Apoorva Raagangal, Moondru Mudichu, Avargal, 16 Vayathinile, Ilamai Oonjal Aadukirathu, and Ninaithale Inikkum. Fans have waited for decades to see them reunite, and this announcement finally fulfills that dream.
