Kamal Haasan Shares Update on His Film With Rajinikanth
Two of the most talked-about Tamil projects in recent times have been Rajinikanth’s Thalaivar 173, directed by Cibi Chakravarthi and backed by Kamal Haasan, and the tentatively titled KH x RK, helmed by Nelson Dilipkumar. While both films have largely remained under wraps, Kamal has now offered a crucial update on the latter.
Speaking to reporters outside an airport, Kamal revealed that filming for KH x RK will commence only after the Tamil Nadu assembly elections conclude. The actor-politician, who is actively involved in campaigning for his party, Makkal Needhi Maiam, indicated that his current focus remains on political commitments before returning to cinema.
The update effectively places the film’s production timeline in the post-election window, adding to the anticipation surrounding what is being seen as a landmark collaboration between two of Indian cinema’s most enduring stars.

The cinematography is handled by veteran Rajiv Menon, while editing is by R Nirmal. The film’s visual world is shaped by art director DRK Kiran, with costumes designed by Pallavi Singh.
Sharing his excitement about the project, Kamal wrote on X, “A Special reunion with my friend Rajinikanth. Every great journey deserves another chapter! My best to Nelson Dilpkumar and Anirudh – and to Red Giant Movies for powering this collaboration.”
