Superstar Rajinikanth has never missed an opportunity to express his admiration and affection for his long time pal and professional rival Kamal Haasan. Now the Superstar has dutifully congratulated the Ulaganayagan, on the latter winning the prestigious Chevalier Award given by the Government of France.,

In his Tweet in Tamil, Rajini equates Kamal to their common mentor in acting, Sivaji Ganesan by addressing him as the Nadigar Thilagam of his generation.

Wow!!! can a person get a better recognition than being hailed by his peer competitor like this?

It is true that Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth are the two unparalleled legends of Tamil cinema and they are going to bring more and more glory to Tamil and Indian cinema in the coming years.

எங்கள் தலைமுறையின் நடிகர் திலகம் செவாலியர் அருமை நண்பர் கமல்ஹாசன் அவர்களுக்கு என்னுடைய மனமார்ந்த பாராட்டுக்கள்
