In a heartwarming display of camaraderie, Kamal Haasan paid a special visit to his long-time friend and fellow superstar Rajinikanth ahead of his upcoming oath-taking ceremony as a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha. The meeting, which took place in Chennai, saw the two Tamil cinema legends share warm moments that have since gone viral on social media.
Haasan took to X (formerly Twitter) to post a series of pictures from the visit. The photos showed him presenting his official Rajya Sabha nomination order to Rajinikanth, along with a bouquet. In another touching frame, the two were seen embracing warmly, symbolizing decades of mutual respect and friendship.
“I shared the beginning of this new journey with my friend @rajinikanth. I feel elated,” Haasan captioned the post, drawing thousands of reactions from fans.
Rajinikanth, too, expressed his admiration and congratulated Haasan. “My dear friend @ikamalhaasan who will be taking office as a member of the Rajya Sabha, heartfelt congratulations to him,” the Jailer actor posted on his handle.
Kamal Haasan, apart from being a veteran actor, is the founder of the political party Makkal Needhi Maiyam (MNM). He was elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha from Tamil Nadu, as part of a seat-sharing agreement with the DMK, which had nominated him as one of its three candidates. Haasan is scheduled to take his oath on July 25.
Professional Front:
Kamal Haasan was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s gangster drama Thug Life, which released in theatres on June 5. His upcoming projects include S. Shankar’s Indian 3, the highly awaited sequel in the Indian franchise, and a yet-untitled film with stunt choreographer duo Anbariv.
Rajinikanth, meanwhile, is set to headline Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie, which will hit screens on August 14. Speculation is also rife about his next film, potentially being directed by Maharaja fame Nithilan Swaminathan.
The warm reunion between these two icons, who have dominated Tamil cinema for over four decades, continues to inspire fans both on and off the screen.
