“I guess we’ll do a film together,” Kamal Haasan on working with Rajinikanth

That Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth are one of the best friends in the industry is a long-known fact. The camaraderie they share is a rarity in Tamil cinema. Even though they are fierce competitors in trade, they are best friends forever at heart. And, Rajinikanth has spoken his companionship with Kamal Haasan so highly in many functions time and again, the most memorable being Kamal’s 50 years event organized by Vijay Television. In his birthday special interview to a daily, Kamal Haasan recalls yet another interesting incident which happened at the silver jubilee function of Thenali. 

“At the Thenali silver jubilee function, Rajini recalled an incident early in our careers when he was riding pillion on a mo’bike with me. When I sort of took a skid, Rajini asked if I knew how to ride a mo’bike. I assured him even if I fell, I wouldn’t let him fall. I was so touched when at the function Rajini said, ‘That’s what happened in our career. He never let me fall. In 1983 when I wanted to leave everything behind it was Kamal who cajoled me back to the material world’. I guess we’ll do a film together. We’ve been talking about it for five years. We’re worried about the expectations,” says Kamal Haasan.

Would the industry go insane if this project ever materializes in future? 🙂
