Veteran stars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan met and shared a light moment while shooting for their respective films on Thursday. Incidentally, the two actors were shooting at the same venue after 21 years.

Kamal Haasan is filming for S Shankar’s Indian 2, the sequel to the 1996 blockbuster, while Rajinikanth is currently shooting for TJ Gnanavel’s film, tentatively titled Thalaivar 170. Both the films are bankrolled by Lyca Productions. The production house took to social media to share pictures of the two legendary actors spending a moment with each other at the studio.

Meanwhile, apart from Indian 2, Kamal Haasan is working on two more projects. The actor will be seen in a film directed by H Vinoth, and he has also reunited with Mani Ratnam after the cult-classic Nayakan (1987).

The Kamal Haasan-Mani Ratnam film is titled Thug Life. A R Rahman is the music composer for the film while Anbariv masters are the stunt choreographers. Recently, the makers of Indian 2 released a first glimpse of the film, a short video that introduced all the central characters of the movie, including the iconic character Senapathy, essayed by Kamal Haasan.
