Glimpse of KH × RK — Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth Reunite After 47 Years

Today (February 21, 2026) fans were treated to a first glimpse of KH × RK — a once-in-a-lifetime cinematic reunion that brings two legends of Indian cinema back together. In a stylish promotional video released by Red Giant Movies, Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth share the screen once again, directed by the hitmaker Nelson Dilipkumar, with music by Anirudh Ravichander.

Historic Reunion of Two Icons

It has been around 47 years since Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth last appeared together on screen — their previous collaboration was in the 1979 film Allauddinum Albhutha Vilakkum. Later, they also appeared together in the Hindi multi-starrer film Geraftaar (1985), which featured several big stars of that era. Fans and film lovers across India are buzzing with excitement as these two giants of Tamil cinema reunite in KH × RK.

The promo shows them stepping out in retro-style outfits, bringing a mix of nostalgia and swagger that perfectly reflects their legendary status. The two stars exchange playful banter with director Nelson, even joking about who the hero of the film really is — a moment that already has fans debating online.

Director Nelson Dilipkumar — Known for Blockbuster Style

KH × RK is directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, a filmmaker known for his sharp blend of humour, style, action, and mass appeal. Nelson recently delivered the box office hit Jailer, and his quirky tone and catchy screenplay have made him one of the most exciting directors in Tamil cinema today. His ability to bring together strong performances and high-energy moments sets big expectations for this new film.

Music by Anirudh Ravichander

Adding to the excitement is the return of Anirudh Ravichander as the music composer. The promo uses his retro-inspired score, blending sounds that feel both classic and modern, giving the glimpse a humourous yet stylish aura. Fans are already talking about how the music adds swagger to Rajinikanth and Kamal’s visuals.

Why This Matters

This announcement is being called a historic cinematic event because:

• Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth have not co-starred in decades, and fans have been waiting for their reunion.

• The promo captures a fun, cool energy instead of a typical dramatic teaser.

• Nelson’s direction plus Anirudh’s music hints at a film that blends nostalgia with contemporary style.

While the full story and release date are yet to be announced, today’s glimpse has already become one of the most talked-about reveals in Indian cinema this year.
