Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Chennai, Feb 21 (NationPress) The production team behind director Nelson Dilipkumar's highly anticipated film, starring Tamil cinema icons Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, released an exceptional promo that brought joy to fans and film enthusiasts alike.
This film, tentatively titled #KHXRK, features music by Anirudh Ravichander and marks the first collaboration of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan in almost 47 years.
The promo kicks off with director Nelson pondering which hotel room to enter first as music maestro Anirudh strolls by, humming a melody.
He extends two fingers and instructs Nelson, "Choose one." When Nelson queries the purpose, Anirudh responds, "Shanmughapriya or Kokilapriya?"
In his signature naive style, Nelson asks, "Are these heroines?" To which Anirudh, looking bemused, replies, "They are raagas." He then decides to go with Karagarapriya since he feels his voice isn't up to par and walks off, while Nelson quips, "You're deceiving someone like me who understands music. Nonetheless, the two-finger method is impressive. I’ll give it a try too." He selects a finger and heads into a room.
Upon entering room number 7, it's clear he has walked into Kamal Haasan's space, where the actor is seen deliberating over his blazer.
When Nelson comments, "Great choice, sir; Rajini sir opted for this as well," Kamal switches to a different blazer.
Next, Nelson is seen in Rajinikanth's room, where Rajini also alters his shoe choice after hearing that the same pair looked good on Kamal. Eventually, both legends emerge from their rooms simultaneously, flaunting a retro style. They hop into a car, accompanied by Nelson and Anirudh in the backseat.
Anirudh mentions, "Sirs, there's a theme music reminiscent of a fusion between Beethoven and Bappi Lahiri ready. Shall we give it a listen?" To this, Kamal Haasan responds, "We'll listen later. First, we need to clarify, who is the hero?" Rajinikanth echoes, "Isn't he asking? Tell us who the hero is!" as the car speeds away.
The film will be produced by Red Giant Movies and features cinematography by renowned director and cameraman Rajeev Menon.
Earlier in the day, the production house issued a statement, expressing, "History seldom repeats... but when it does, it becomes a celebration for generations. The reunion of these monumental figures is a moment of great pride and emotion for Red Giant Movies. #KHXRK will honor the legends we've cherished and grown to love on screen. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to director Nelson for his unwavering belief and artistry that have made this historic reunion possible, and who better than our very own Rockstar Anirudh to spark this celebration. Today's the day.
The time is 12:07 PM. #RedGiant17.
