Kamal: 'No jealousy between me and Rajini'

Two of the biggest names in Indian cinema, Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth, are often placed against one another.

Recently, during an interaction with the media, Haasan said that he and Rajinikanth are good competitors; however, they are never jealous of each other.

A reporter pointed out to Haasan that Rajinikanth had recently said that he was surprised and happy that Vijay had become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. He went on to add with a smile that he would have been jealous in case Haasan had gone on to become Chief Minister.

Cutting the reporter short, Haasan pointed out that Rajinikanth had only said that with a smile and clarified that they had never been jealous of each other.

"We have never been jealous of each other, but we have competed with one another. We are the best sportsman you can find in Tamil Nadu. We are in the field of cinema. Even if we had played cricket, we would have been like this."

Meanwhile, Haasan recently paid a visit to the new Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay and placed his demands that might help give a push to the film industry in the state.
