Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan project announced director choice surprises all. Finally, the dreams of all movie lovers are coming true once again. Super Star Rajinikanth and Universal Hero Kamal Haasan's multi starrer is officially announced.
This will mark the re union of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan on the silver screen after a gap of more than 4 decades. They were last seen in Alavuddinum Athbutha Vilakkum. Their latest multi starrer will be produced by Kamal Haasan on his Raaj Kamal Films banner and it will be helmed by Sundar.C.
Sundar C. directed Rajinikanth's Arunachalam in 1997. Kamal Haasaan made the announcement in the following manner officially.
“Like wind, like rain, like river. Let's shower, let's enjoy, let's live! Superstar Rajinikanth will star in the movie directed by Sundar C and produced by Raaj Kamal Films International #Thalaivar173 #Pongal2027.”
The note he shared spoke of the friendship he shares with Rajinikanth for many decades now: “The landmark collaboration not only unites two towering forces of Indian cinema but also celebrates five decades of friendship and brotherhood between Superstar Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan – a bond that continues to inspire generations of artists and audiences alike.”
The film happens to be Rajinikanth's 173 and it will be released across India on Red Gaint Movies banner. Sundar C's wife Khushboo reacted “My Heroes in one frame!!! Excitement beyond words!! (heart emojis)” Fans were also happy that they had finally made it official, with one of them commenting, “Rajinikanth - Kamal combo going strong since 1970. Is there any duo like them in any movie Industry??”
One fan who wasn’t happy with the choice of director commented, “The unity I wished for. Not the director I asked for.” Another wrote, “Unexpected thalaiva (bomb and sparkle emojis). After Arunachalam , Good to see this combo gonna give another banger blockbuster to industry.” Some were just relieved that, given Sundar was helming it, it wouldn’t be a gangster film, with one fan writing, “What a relief, that it is not going to be another run-of-the-mill gangster film! Three cheers to Rajini, Kamal and Sundar C! Waiting for Pongal 2027!”
