I just couldnt understand these people. I think these people comparing Rajinikanth and Kamalhaasan just couldnt stand both big shots being good friends. There are no points fighting over who is the best. Both these actors are best in their own styles. As for myself, i am a DieHard Hardcore fan of Kamalhaasan. But i also do not deny that Rajinikanth is a good actor too. If Kamalhaasan is capabale of giving us classic films like Hey Ram, Anbe Sivam and Virumaandi, Rajinikanth os also capable of giving us classic movie Thalapathy and Sri Ragavendhar. If Rajinikanth is capable of giving us comedy pieces like Veera, Thillu Mullu, etc.etc, Kamalhaasan is also capable of giving us good comedies like Thenali, Micheal Madhana Kaama Raajan etc.etc. So please do not compare these two best friends. Let us enjoy good movies from both these Stars.

  I always observed that it's only the Rajini & Kamal fas who clash with each other. For nearly two-and-a-half decades Kamla & Rajini have been thick friends and mutually compliment each other off the sets. It's the fans who arew reduced to fools blaming each other.
  
  Being a hard core Rajini fan myself, I had never failed to acknowledge tht Kamal is one of the legends of Indian cinema. In fact, Rajinikanth himself oncestated ina interview to SUN TV in 1996 during election campaign that Kamal is his favourite ever actor from India.
  
  Recently Rajinirequested his buddy Kamal to offer a special show for Virumaanid in AVM sudios just for himself and his wife. After watching the preview show alone with his wife & 2 daugthers Rajini made a remark to his close buddy Kamal that "No one else could have made & acted in Virumandi apart from you."
  
  Rajini is a great himself and look at his humilty in acknowledging that his arch-rival is a great as well.

  I've written before reg. Kamal - Rajini friendship. Fans bashing each other doesn't make any sense! The two stars go back a long way about 30 years since the Aboorvaragangal days. K.Balachander is their Guru. They are completely self-made, came up through hardwork and talent unlike actors these days with dad being an actor/director/producer etc. Infact after Rajini and Kamal had done a dozen movies together, Kamal adviced Rajini to act seperate and have his own image. See what it did to Rajini ....
  
  Rajini has helped Kamal financially when Kamal was in a financial mess. And more recently Rajini tried talking to Kamal/Sarika to fix their marriage. On a star nite show in Malasia, Rajini asked Kamal "When are you going to give me movies like Nayagan and ThevarMagan ?"
  
  So lets try to support both these talented living legends in their respective endeavors instead of indulging in fans bashing each other's.

  I think Rajini and Kamal are the greatest actors that Tamil cinema can ever produce. I've seen them start their careers as adults, at almost the same time and right from then, there has always been this active and a healthy competition, throughout this longest span for more than 25 years. And they are not over yet. I just wish they give more movies as always with different scripts, and not try to build that 'Larger-than-life' image as they tend to do at times. That's it. And when I compare these two to their predecessors (MGR and Sivaji) and their successors (Vikram, Surya, Madahavn etc), they are better in many many ways. And I know for sure, that all Tamilians will accept this view of mine....
