Big B and Thala reunite

Bollywood veteran Amitabh Bachchan and Tamil cinema’s iconic star Rajinikanth have reunited for the upcoming film Vettaiyan. The shooting of the film is underway in Mumbai.

On Saturday, Big B took to Instagram and shared a picture with Rajini as he expressed his delight in working with him again.

Big B penned a heartfelt note in the caption as he wrote: “I’m honoured and privileged to be with the Thala the Great Rajni again. He hasn’t changed at all, the same simple humble down to earth friend despite his stratospheric greatness.”

Vettaiyan, which marks the reunion of the two of the biggest stars of Indian cinema after 33 years, was tentatively titled Thalaivar 170. Big B and Thalaivar last worked together in the Hindi film Hum, directed by Mukul Anand which was released in 1991. Hum was a massive rage in the 1990s and a huge success. It is also remembered for its song Jumma Chumma De De.
