Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, two of the biggest personalities in Indian film, are frequently pitted against one another. In a recent interview with the media, Haasan stated that while he and Rajinikanth are fierce rivals, they are never envious of one another.
Haasan was informed by a reporter that Rajinikanth had lately expressed his astonishment and happiness at Vijay's appointment as Tamil Nadu's chief minister. He continued, grinning, saying that if Haasan had been Chief Minister, he would have been envious.
Haasan interrupted the reporter to clarify that they had never been envious of one another, pointing out that Rajinikanth had merely said so while grinning.Although we have competed with one another, we have never been envious of one another. We are Tamil Nadu's top athletes. We work in the film industry. We would have been this way even if we had played cricket."
In the meantime, Haasan recently visited Vijay, the new chief minister of Tamil Nadu, and made demands that might potentially boost the state's film sector.
Haasan posted a list of the six demands he made in front of the CM on his official X account. The following were the demands: Tamil Nadu Government Launch OTT portal: Tamil viewers can watch independent films, documentaries, and Tamil cinema on this state-owned OTT portal.

elimination of the 4% local body entertainment tax. To safeguard Tamil film, the Tamil Nadu Police Cyber Crime Department established a robust anti-piracy unit with the authority to impose real-time takedowns of stolen content. All Tamil Nadu films are permitted to be shown five times a day. This will boost theatre earnings and aid in the film exhibition industry's comeback. All films released in Tamil Nadu must have an 8-week OTT window in order for theatre owners and distributors to make ends meet.

to implement a 10% budget incentive program for Indian films that shoot more than half of their production in Tamil Nadu. As a result, Tamil Nadu will once again be the primary center for film production in India.
