No Rajini-Kamal pact

There were a lot rumours that claimed that Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan secretly met recently to discuss about the release dates of their upcoming movies Kochadaiyaan and Vishwaroopam. It was said that they discussed on avoiding the clash between the two movies and came to an agreement on releasing the movies. However, the spokesperson of Kamal has denied the rumours and said that it is not true.

The spokesperson said that the makers of Kochadaiyaan have announced a long time ago that the movie would release on 12.12.12 which coincides with Rajinikanth's birthday. But Vishwaroopam is likely to hit the screens either in September or October. That means there is no clash between the two movies. So, the question on Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan meeting to discuss about the releases never arise, he concludes.
