Rajinikanth & Kamal Haasan Reunite

In a move that’s sending shockwaves across Indian cinema, Superstar Rajinikanth and Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan are officially reuniting for a long-awaited multistarrer. Yes, you read that right — two of Tamil cinema’s biggest legends are sharing the screen once again. But there’s a surprising twist: director Lokesh Kanagaraj is no longer attached to the project.

A Dream Collaboration, Decades in the Making

Fans have dreamed of seeing Rajini and Kamal together in a full-fledged feature for years — and now, that dream is finally becoming reality. Both actors have confirmed their involvement, sparking massive buzz across the industry and social media alike.

While details about the film’s plot are under wraps, insiders say it will be a high-octane entertainer with a strong emotional core — fitting for a duo that has defined generations of Tamil cinema.

Lokesh Kanagaraj Steps Away

Originally rumored to helm the project, Vikram and Leo director Lokesh Kanagaraj has now officially stepped away. The news comes as a surprise, especially after the massive success of his collaborations with both stars — Kamal in Vikram (2022) and Rajinikanth in Leo’s extended cinematic universe rumors.

According to sources, Lokesh opted out due to scheduling conflicts and a desire to focus on developing the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) further. He is still reportedly on good terms with both stars and has expressed his excitement as a fan.

Who’s Directing Now?

While no replacement director has been officially announced, talks are ongoing with top-tier filmmakers to take the reins. The production house is expected to make a formal announcement soon, along with additional casting news.

Given the scale of this project — and the star power involved — expectations are sky-high.

Fans React: “This Is Historic”

As soon as the news broke, fans flooded social media with excitement, calling it a “historic moment” for Indian cinema. Hashtags like #RajiniKamalMovie, #ThalaivarUlaganayagan, and #Multistarrer2025 quickly began trending.

When Will It Release?

While no official release date has been locked in, production is expected to begin in early 2025, with a potential late 2025 or early 2026 release window. An official update on the director and full cast lineup is expected soon.
