Veteran actor Kamal Haasan recently visited Superstar Rajinikanth ahead of his oath-taking ceremony as a Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament. Sharing the moment on X (formerly Twitter), Haasan posted pictures of their warm meeting. In the images, he is seen presenting his official Rajya Sabha appointment order and a bouquet to Rajinikanth, followed by a heartfelt embrace between the two icons.
Haasan captioned the post, I shared the beginning of this new journey with my friend rajinikanth. I feel elated. In response, Rajinikanth also shared a photo and congratulated him, writing, My dear friend ikamalhaasan who will be taking office as a member of the Rajya Sabha, heartfelt congratulations to him.
The pictures quickly went viral, capturing fans' attention across social media platforms.
For context, Kamal Haasan, founder of the political party Makkal Needhi Maiyam, was elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha as part of an agreement with the DMK, which nominated him among six candidates from Tamil Nadu. He is set to take oath on July 25.
On the film front, Kamal was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life, which released on June 5. He’s currently working on Indian 3 with S. Shankar and a new project with stunt choreographers Anbariv. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is gearing up for the release of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie on August 14 and is rumored to team up with Maharaja director Nithilan Swaminathan next.
