The announcement glimpse of KHxRK has taken the internet by storm, delivering one of the most iconic moments in Indian cinema history. Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan sharing screen space again after 47 years is nothing short of a landmark event.
The Gesture That Speaks Volumes
What truly stands out is the respect and bond between the two legends. It was Rajinikanth’s personal call to place Kamal Haasan’s name first in the title card, honouring his senior status in the industry. This simple yet powerful gesture reflects the deep friendship and mutual admiration they have shared for decades.
Kamal Haasan on the Emotional Reunion
Kamal Haasan recently opened up about the promo shoot and shared a heartfelt moment:
“Everyone was in a euphoria when the promo shoot happened. The crew asked us to go and rest in our caravans, but we didn’t. Instead, we were chatting and spending time together. After 47 years, Rajinikanth and I are acting together in the same film again. Over the years, we have mostly met only at public functions.”
That statement alone captures how meaningful this reunion is for both icons.
When Will KHxRK Start Shooting?
Director Nelson has narrated only an outline so far and needs time to develop the full script. Both legends have packed schedules before they can begin filming.
Kamal Haasan’s upcoming commitments include:
- Kalki 2898 AD: Part 2 shoot
- Tamil Nadu Elections 2026 campaign
- Anbarivu film
Rajinikanth will complete his ongoing projects including Thalaivar 173 with director Cibi Chakaravarthi before shifting focus to KHxRK.
Why the Early Announcement Makes Sense
The announcement has arrived much earlier than the actual shoot. But considering the scale of this project and the legendary combination involved, building anticipation early is a smart move.
For fans, this is not just another film announcement. It is the reunion of two icons after 47 years — and that alone makes KHxRK one of the most awaited films in Indian cinema.
