Recently, director Lokesh Kanagaraj has revealed an interesting piece of information about a film that would have brought two of Tamil cinema’s most iconic stars, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, to the big screen. Describing it as a dream opportunity, the untitled project was to bring these legends together under his direction. The global pandemic played spoilsport and the film is indefinitely postponed.
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vision for Tamil Cinema
The hard work Lokesh has put into filmmaking has emerged as a spectacular visionary filmmaker in no time and has taken Indian cinema to its best in producing blockbusters such as Kaithi, Master, and Vikram, with unique narration. A rare loss to the fans of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan-the project would have been an historic collaboration of two actors whose legacy goes beyond many decades.
Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan: A Dream Team
There have been very few screen alliances for Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan in their long film careers. Classics such as Apoorva Raagangal and 16 Vayathinile are exceptions. He called it an honor and a chance to create something memorable for fans by pairing these two cinematic legends. He did not reveal details of his plot, but hints of it showed this film was meant to be an action drama with a high stakes game while the roles were designed for both actors in their own traditional ways.
Effects of Coronavirus on the Movie Production
The COVID-19 pandemic had been a global disruptor to industries, and entertainment was no exception. According to Kanagaraj, this ambitious film was part of several projects shelved due to the logistical and health challenges the pandemic posed. Still, there is hope for the project to be revived in the future, and no concrete plans have been confirmed.

A Future Possibility?
Kanagaraj hopes that one day his vision of the same might materialize someday. With his present successful streak of movies with the success of recent ventures of Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), fans believe it may revive the conversations if Kanagaraj influences their decisions.
