# Kamal Haasan to join ‘KH×RK’ shoot in December, sources say 2026-10-22T10:30:30+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Nelson Dilipkumar is reportedly set to start shooting ‘KH×RK’, the multistarrer featuring Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, in November 2025, with Kamal Haasan joining the sets in December 2025, according to Chennai sources cited by Deccan Chronicle. The project, which generated massive expectations after a viral promo months ago, had triggered speculation it was shelved. Trade circles have speculated that Sun Pictures could take over the project following the success of Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer 2’, but no official confirmation has been made. TrackTollywood reports that Nelson’s film with N.T. Rama Rao Jr. has been pushed to 2028 as the Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan multistarrer takes priority. An official announcement on the shooting schedule for ‘KH×RK’ is awaited. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Deccan Chronicle reports that Nelson Dilipkumar is set to begin shooting ‘KH×RK’ in November 2025 with Kamal Haasan joining sets in December 2025, citing ‘Chennai sources’, the story also notes speculation about Sun Pictures taking over the project after Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer 2’ success. TrackTollywood, meanwhile, frames the same project primarily as a delay for a separate NTR-Nelson film, pushing it to 2028, and only secondarily confirms the Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan multistarrer comes first. Both outlets present the ‘KH×RK’ shooting timeline as unconfirmed, with no official announcement. The balanced reading: the core timeline is sourced identically (November 2025 start, Kamal joining in December 2025), while the production financing shift to Sun Pictures remains speculative from Deccan Chronicle alone. An official announcement is awaited on the shooting schedule. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - deccanchronicle.com (neutral report) Leads with shooting timeline citing unnamed Chennai sources - tracktollywood.com (neutral report) Frames story as delay for NTR film, not as primary news This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
