Two Titans, One Screen: Kamal and Rajini’s historic comeback together

Tamil cinema witnessed a historic moment on Friday with the release of the stylish promo for KHxRK , bringing together legends Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth as lead stars after a gap of 47 years .

The four-minute promotional video, packed with slick visuals and pulsating background music, showcases the two icons in sunglasses and leather outfits, exuding a blend of vintage swagger and modern style. The promo has quickly gone viral, sparking excitement among fans who have long awaited their on-screen reunion.

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and featuring music by Anirudh Ravichander , KHxRK marks the first time Haasan and Rajinikanth have shared the screen as lead actors since the 1979 fantasy classic Allauddinum Albhutha Vilakkum .
