They have appeared together in eighteen films, a collaboration that began with Apoorva Ragangal in 1975, which also marked Rajinikanth’s debut as an actor. Over the years, their journeys diverged in style and persona, yet remained deeply intertwined within the history of Tamil cinema.

A tribute rooted in shared memoriesThe video opens with a still from Ninaithale Inikkum released in 1979, featuring both Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth. The image itself carries recent significance as it was earlier shared in August ahead of the release of Coolie, instantly sparking nostalgia among fans. From there, the tribute travels back to some of the most formative years of their careers.Several moments from films shaped by legendary filmmaker K Balachandar form the emotional spine of the video. Scenes and stills from Apoorva Ragangal, Moondru Mudichu, and Avargal are featured prominently, reminding viewers of a time when both actors were evolving performers finding their voices under the guidance of a master storyteller. These films remain cornerstones of Tamil cinema, not only for their craft but for the raw energy of two future legends sharing the frame.The video also briefly recreates a moment from Bharathiraja’s 16 Vayathinile through AI generated visuals. The choice adds a modern touch to the tribute while paying homage to a film that redefined realism in Tamil cinema and played a key role in shaping Rajinikanth’s early image as an unconventional performer.
Beyond films and into cultural legacyBeyond film clips, the tribute extends into moments captured at public events and celebrations that have become part of Tamil popular culture. Footage from milestones such as Kamal 50 and appearances at the Vikatan Awards highlight the camaraderie between the two stars off screen. These glimpses reflect a relationship that has endured competition, changing eras, and individual superstardom without losing its warmth.Ahead of the video release, Kamal Haasan also took to social media to wish Rajinikanth on his birthday. His message was simple yet deeply personal, acknowledging both the passage of time and the scale of Rajinikanth’s contribution to cinema. He wrote that it marked seventy five years of a remarkable life and fifty years of legendary cinema, signing off with a birthday wish to his friend.The tribute from Raaj Kamal Films is less about spectacle and more about shared history. It reminds audiences that before the myths, the mass moments, and the towering fan followings, Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth were contemporaries growing together within the same cinematic ecosystem. In celebrating Rajinikanth, the video also quietly celebrates an era of Tamil cinema that shaped generations of storytellers and viewers alike.Also Read: Tamil Cinema Bids Farewell to AVM Saravanan, A Producer Who Shaped Generations。 New Delhi, Oct 21 (UNI) Pakistan must continue to take credible action against terrorism and terror financing and the world community should remain clear about that, India said on Friday reacting on the FATF's decision to take off the country from its grey list.
In response to media queries in this regard, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said: "It is in global interest that the world remains clear that Pakistan must continue to take credible, verifiable, irreversible and sustained action against terrorism and terrorist financing emanating from territories under its control."
"We understand that Pakistan will continue to work with the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) to further improve its Anti Money Laundering (AML) /Counter Terror Financing (CFT) system," Bagchi said.
"As a result of FATF scrutiny, Pakistan has been forced to take some action against well-known terrorists, including those involved in attacks against the entire international community in Mumbai on 26/11," the spokesperson added.
The Financial Action Task Force,
a global watchdog to combat money laundering, terror financing and other related threats, on Friday said that Pakistan is no longer subject to FATF's increased monitoring process.
It said that Pakistan would continue to work with APG (Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering) to further improve its AML/CFT (anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing) system.
FATF said, "Pakistan has strengthened the effectiveness of its AML/CFT regime and addressed technical deficiencies to meet the commitments of its action plans regarding strategic deficiencies that the FATF identified in June 2018 and June 2021."
Reacting to the decision, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif tweeted: "Pakistan exiting the FATF grey list is a vindication of our determined and sustained efforts over the years. I would like to congratulate our civil & military leadership as well as all institutions whose hard work led to today's success. Aap sab ko bohat bohat Mubarak."
