Before KH x RK Reunion, landmark Malayalam film Twenty:20 tried to bring Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan together; producer reveals why it didn’t happen | Malayalam News

With “Superstar” Rajinikanth himself confirming that his highly anticipated upcoming project, marking his on-screen reunion with Kamal Haasan after 47 years, is scheduled to go on floors in August 2026, movie fans are excited like never before. Tentatively titled KH x RK Reunion, the film is helmed by Nelson Dilipkumar, and the makers unveiled its first promo in February, taking the internet by storm. Two of the most celebrated icons in the history of Indian cinema, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, have starred together in several classic films, including Apoorva Raagangal, Avargal, Moondru Mudichu, and Pathinaru Vayathinile. Although it was director IV Sasi’s Malayalam-Tamil bilingual fantasy film Allauddinum Albhutha Vilakkum (1979) where the two last appeared together in central roles, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan also shared the screen in Thillu Mullu (1981), where the latter had a cameo.

Heavy polling in presumed strongholds leaves Twenty20 camp upbeat

Heavy polling in Kunnathunadu and Perumbavoor Assembly segments, which are part of the Chalakudy Lok Sabha constituency, has left the Twenty20 camp upbeat as it considers the belt as its stronghold. Kizhakkambalam, Mazhuvannoor, Aikkaranadu and Kunnathunadu panchayats governed by Twenty20 fall within the Kunnathunadu Assembly constituency, which led the charts in terms of voter turnout. Kunnathunadu racked up the biggest voter turnout across all 14 constituencies in Ernakulam district. Both Kunnathunadu and Perumbavoor Assembly constituencies were the first to cross the 60% voter turnout mark in the district with just two hours left for the polling to conclude. At final count, Kunnathunadu clocked a voter turnout of 78.11% and Perumbavoor 73.13%. “Heavy polling witnessed in our strongholds of Kunnathunadu, Perumbavoor, and Chalakudy is a clear sign in our favour. In fact, we will amass votes more than the combined vote share of UDF and LDF candidates. All three fronts will drop votes in our favour, and the LDF will suffer the biggest setback. Earlier, people did not have an option and had to alternate between …

Twenty20 testing political waters in Kerala

Illustration | Photo Credit: Satheesh Vellinezhi The upcoming general elections pose a unique challenge to Twenty20, a non-profit organisation based at Kizhakkambalam, whether to confine itself to local politics or spread its wings across Kerala. No other formation faces the challenge of proving to itself and others that it is a force to be reckoned with. The organisation has decided to focus on two Lok Sabha constituencies, Ernakulam and Chalakudy, which are held by the Congress. Though the Twenty20 has fielded candidates in the two constituencies, political analysts do not expect the organisation to stage a political coup. Yet, the outcome is likely to provide the organisation with the much-required political reality check. It will also offer the organisation a chance to make introspections into its political strategies, including the decision to walk out of the alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Though the organisation, led by Sabu M. Jacob, managing director of garment makers KITEX, had announced the formation of the People’s Welfare Alliance with AAP in 2022, the bonhomie did not last …
