Mumbai, February 21 Superstars Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth showcase their signature style in the promotional material for the highly anticipated movie, tentatively titled “KHxRK”.
The film, which is being touted as a celebration of “scale, legacy, and storytelling”, will be directed by acclaimed director Nelson Dilipkumar, best known for “Beast” and “Jailer”. The music for the film will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
The production house, Red Giant Movies, unveiled the promotional material on social media, which shows a lighthearted interaction between Dilipkumar, Ravichander, Rajinikanth, and Haasan.
In the three-minute 46-second promo, titled "The Glimpse of KH x RK Reunion", one of the standout sequences is when Rajinikanth throws the car key to Haasan in his signature style, which Haasan catches before they both get into a vintage car. The two Tamil cinema legends then ask the director, "Who is the hero?", to which the director looks nervous, and the question remains unanswered.
A spokesperson from Red Giant Movies said that bringing together Haasan and Rajinikanth for this film is a “dream come true” for them.
"We feel deeply honored, grateful, and incredibly excited to facilitate this reunion after 47 years. This is a historic and emotional moment for Indian cinema, and we embark on this journey with immense gratitude and responsibility.
"We are committed to creating a cinematic experience that celebrates their legacy in the most powerful way," the statement read.
The upcoming movie reunites the two top movie stars after 47 years; the two last appeared together in the 1979 fantasy film “Alavuddinum Athbutha Vilakkum”. Prior to that, they had appeared together in films such as “16 Vayathinile” (1977), “Aval Appadithan” (1978) and “Ninaithale Inikkum” (1979).
The new movie marks the third collaboration between Rajinikanth and Dilipkumar after their blockbuster hit “Jailer” (2023) and the sequel “Jailer 2”, which is scheduled to release in June this year. It’s the first movie between the director and Haasan.
Key details about the film, including the plot and its title, are being kept under wraps.
The film is set to release in three languages: Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi.
