The excitement in Tamil cinema is reaching new heights as fans eagerly anticipate a historic collaboration between two industry legends. Shruti Haasan and director Soundarya Rajinikanth shed light on their fathers, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan’s, much-anticipated project. At the Galatta Nakshatra & Wonder Women Awards 2025, Shruti Haasan and Soundarya Rajinikanth were called up on stage, sparking conversations about their fathers’ upcoming film. Update on Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan Film Collaboration Talking about the upcoming project, Soundarya revealed: “The update right about their collaboration is that our dads should be the right people to talk about now. But do know that my father will be doing a film with Kamal sir under his banner next. But the other details about the film are all still work in progress. So when it is the right time, ‘Thalaivar’ will come out and announce it himself.” Star Families’ Bond: Shruti Haasan Talks About Rajinikanth Shruti also addressed misconceptions about the relationship between their families: “Many people asked me about the experience working with ‘Rajini uncle’ and I corrected them, saying that even for me, it’s Rajini sir only. Our families have not been that close over the years. But whenever we meet, there is this positivity and mutual respect between the families. That’s our relationship.” Possible Directors and Production Details for the Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan Film The untitled Rajinikanth-Kamal project was initially rumoured to be directed by Pradeep Ranganathan, who recently denied the claims. Coolie director Lokesh Kanagaraj is now the frontrunner to helm this major multi-starrer. Rajinikanth confirmed the film will be produced under Raaj Kamal Films International, with production starting after Jailer 2 once the script and characters are finalised.
