Will Kamal Haasan Co-Star With Rajinikanth In Politics? Fans See A Hint
Last month, Rajinikanth has followed Kamal Haasan into the political stage. Kamal Haasan had been one of the first to congratulate him, tweeting, "I greet Rajini's social concern and political debut. Welcome welcome".
CHENNAI: A promise to “reach out to friends” in actors Kamal Haasan’s weekly column “Ananda Vikatan” has triggered wild excitement among fans, who have read it as a hint at his interest in working with friend Rajinikanth.
Last month, Rajinikanth has followed Kamal Haasan into the political stage, announcing his intention to set up a political party and contest all 232 seats in Tamil Nadu in the next assembly elections. Mr Haasan had been one of the first to congratulate him, tweeting, “I greet Rajini’s social concern and political debut. Welcome welcome”.
Today, in his weekly column, Mr Haasan wrote, “”I’d not antagonise my friends to secure my position like usual politicians. Nor is the youth ready to continue under such leadership. I’d attempt to reach out to elders and friends too”.
On Sunday, the two actors went to Malaysia to attend a fund-raiser that featured 250 members of the Tamil film industry. In true Tamil blockbuster fashion, they flew into the national stadium of Kuala Lumpur in a chopper, Rajinikanth dressed in all black, Kamal Haasan in white. Rajinikanth was even seen offering Mr Haasan a hair brush, but the latter declined, using his hands to style his wind-swept hair.
