This is perhaps the best-kept secret in the film industry. Contrary to the popular notion that Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan are bitter rivals, it is now revealed that they are actually the best of friends.
Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan have chartered out a course with their unique style and mannerism. They are no undisputedly the two pillars of Tamil cinema.
In fact, when Rajnikanth wanted to quit films and take up a spiritual life, it was none other than Kamal Haasan who talked Rajni out of it.
Now Gayathri, a doctor by profession, has written a book on the life and times of Rajnikanth. Amitabh Bachchan will release the book later this month.
Kamal Haasan has written a special message in the book. We reproduce here Kamal Haasan's letter for the benefit of our readers.
"Dr Gayathri Srikanth has a unique viewpoint. An angle Rajni fans most cherish. A low angle shot looking up at their hero.
Dr Gayathri has not destroyed truth for the sake of sensationalism.
A book of this sort in English is long overdue.
Precious, little, private details about the superstar fills the book. Though I know most of them, it is still a good read.
The rise of Rajni is a notable achievement and will be remembered in Tamil commercial cinema history.
So will Dr Gayathri's book.
Have a good read."
