Rajini and Kamal

[nilavupriyan]

or like a pithamagan or sholay story line... friends

Alien,
That was a typing mistake.... I meant Avargal... Yeah I agree Rajini fans will not like the idea of Rajini doing a -ve role that too in a movie with Kamal... Similarly Kamal fans will also get upset if Kamal does -ve role... But between the two, I feel Rajini will be a good choice for the bad guy because of his past performances. If both do +'ve roles fighting a common enemy then the movie will not be that much exciting, I feel... If Kamal & Rajini act together in a movie then definitely they should act as opponents with equal footage on the movie!

In a DD interview in '94 (where all stars asked Kamal questions)

Rajini: aama Kamal, enna vachu eppo padam edukka pOreenga..?
Kamal: Idhu dhaan enga Madra-le jama lakkadi giri girinnu solluvaanga. naama reNdu pEr enna pEsikkittOm...enna vachu neenga padam edukkuradhaagavum..ungalai vachu naan padam edukkuradhaagavum. ippo enna producer aakkitteenga..paravaayillai. rajinikku appidingra pOdhu nalla script kadaikkaNum. En kitta oru director irukkaaru. aana en hero othukkuvaara ? director naan..hero neenga. enna solreenga ?

Though they were both definitely joking, the very prospect of such a combination thrills me this date.

AvargaL, featured great (but rather independent) performances from Rajini and Kamal. So it is my (distant) second.

16 Vayathinile is my all-time favourite. Seeppu kuduthu vittALE sillrai kuduthu vittALA ? Idhu eppidi irukku !

We know we have a thread for rajini and kamal and also a thread to compare both actors. But let us remember that both have different styles but their acting characteristics are not far off from each other. While one is a pinnacle of acting in experimental and challenging roles another is a pinnacle of acting in mass roles. These thread is to commemorate both actors and the experiences between them (dialogues,scenes,movies) . Discussion of a future movies between rajini and kamal is also allowed(You guys know that everyone would love rajini and kamal in one movie. ).

1)No Comparison
2)No glorifying of separate actors

Congratulations on creating this thread with such a good intent dude !!!

Written by someone who's been asked to write something in half-an-hour quick !
Proof 1

early days of their carrier

Pattiyal, Anandham, AnbE sivam, Tenali, Aayidha Ezhuthu, Panchatantiram are all in the last few years. The writer consciously downplays Pithamagan.

Did Bollywood always have a multi-star cast. I am guessing it is also because of the fad of the day there. And just because Tamil movies aren't like Bollywood (read aren't like Bollywood as they are supposed to be) there is a demand for an article like this.

Even mainstream films are getting 'different'.Notwithstanding what Filmfare thinks, who is the hero is TT ? Who is the hero in 'Arinthum Ariyaamalum' ?

That said, some points stated are true. But overall the article was lazy writing.

That said, some points stated are true. But overall the article was lazy writing.

Especially if he spells 'career' as 'carrier'.

Tamil cinema's two pillars, Kamal Hassan and Rajnikanth have done about 16 movies together-but that's in the early days of their carrier.

Thanks for the responses guys, good to see more people supporting the presense of both icons.

One reason why both stars are also not acting in a movie together might be the amount of expectations generated by both of them. This was said by kamal in a recent interview just before the release of VV. I believe rajinifans/mumbaimirror have the link. But in the same interview kamal said that rajini will act with him if either kamal or some other director directs. Thats certainly a exciting thought.

One very good thing about rajini and kamal rivalry is none of them take potshots at each other in their movies. It is their own movie all the way only focussing on entertainment to the audience.

I only can think of one director at the moment who can bring them together and that is K Balachander. This man introduced and utilised their talents and also guided them on their paths to stardom. The others might be KS Ravikumar and SP Muthuraman.
