Speaking at an event with News18, Anirudh Ravichander said, “The film is going to be a fun-filled entertainer. We will give our best. It’s a very special film, as both legends are coming together after 47 years… It is going to be superb. If you watch the promo, there isn’t much mass. Nelson’s script has come out very well. We’re going to work hard to deliver a big hit next year.”
The musician added, “We have done a lot of mass music for Kamal Haasan sir and Rajinikanth sir in Vikram and Jailer. For KHxRK, we tried a retro music style, bringing back the 1970s. It was surreal for me and Nelson to sit in the car alongside them, as this was happening after 47 years.”
Anirudh concluded that when he heard Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth were coming together, he became very excited. He described it as a “double bonanza” and added that he had already started working to deliver the best for the film. He also expressed gratitude for the amazing response to the promo.
