Chennai: The makers of director Nelson Dilipkumar’s eagerly awaited upcoming film, starring two superstars of Tamil cinema, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan in the lead roles, on Saturday released a stunning promo for the film, much to the delight of fans and film lovers.
The film, which is being tentatively titled #KHXRK, has music by Anirudh Ravichander and will see Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan together in a film after almost 47 years.
The promo starts with director Nelson standing in the corridor of a hotel wondering whose room he should enter first, when music director Anirudh comes in humming a tune.

He holds out two fingers and tells Nelson, “Touch one.” When Nelson asked him what it was for, Anirudh replied, “Shanmughapriya or Kokilapriya?”
Nelson asks in his characteristic innocent way, “Heroines?” Anirudh, with a condescending expression on his face, replies, “They are ragas.” He then says to himself, “Let’s go with Karagarapriya as my voice is not good” and starts to walk away, even as Nelson says, “You are cheating on someone like me who knows music. However, the two finger technique is good. Let me follow it too.” He points a finger and then follows her into a room.
He enters a room number 7 and it is clear that this room belongs to actor Kamal Haasan. Although the actor is not visible, we see him making choices regarding his blazer.
When Nelson says, “Super sir, Rajini sir has also chosen the same.” He puts down the blazer he had initially chosen and chooses the option.
Nelson is next seen in Rajni’s room and when it comes to choosing shoes, Rajni changes her choice after hearing Nelson saying that the same shoes looked good on Kamal as well. Eventually, both the stars come out of their respective rooms at the same time in retro looks. They both go inside a car, with Nelson and Anirudh sitting in the back seat.
Anirudh says, “Sir, there is a theme music that sounds like a mix of Beethoven and Bappi Lahiri that is ready. Should we listen to it?” To this Kamal Haasan replies, “We will hear all that later. First we have to ask something. Who is the hero?” Rajinikanth repeated the question and asked, “Isn’t he asking? Tell me who is the hero?” Even as Nelson watches in surprise, the car drives away.
The film will be produced by Red Giant Movies and its cinematography will be done by ace director and cameraman Rajeev Menon.
Earlier in the day, the production house had issued a statement. It reads, “History rarely repeats itself… but when it does, it becomes a celebration for generations. The reunion of two great giants is a moment of immense pride and emotion for Red Giant Movies. #KHXRK will be a celebration of the giants we love and have grown up watching on screen. Special gratitude to director Nelson, whose conviction and craft has made this historic moment possible and our own rockstar Anirudh for enhancing the celebration. Who could be better than today?
The time is 12:07 pm. #RedGiant17.”
