Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan have known each other for decades and have remained friends despite being contemporaries. Even though their fans looked at them as rivals, they have always maintained their relationship and set friendship goals for generations.

It was director K Balachander who brought them together. In 1975, Rajinikanth played an antagonist to Kamal Haasan in 'Apoorva Raagangal'. Subsequently, the two shared screen space in several films. After a certain point, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan decided that it was time for them to conquer cinema separately.

Four decades later, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan are two of the most celebrated actors in the history of Indian cinema.
