Amitabh Bachchan Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan together?
Film “Geraftaar” boasted of powerhouse ensemble in Amitabh Bachchan Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. It was truly one of a kind notable for being one of the very few films to feature the three legends of the industry.
While Kamal played the lead role, Rajinikanth had a prominent supporting role, and Amitabh made a memorable extended cameo. The trio, each a titan in his own right in Hindi and South Indian cinema, created major buzz and drew massive audience interest upon the film’s release.
*Amitabh’s extended cameo stole the show
Whilst the Senior Bachchan was not the main lead, his entry in the film left a lasting impact. His character arrives mid-way through the story and plays a critical role in turning the plot. Bachchan’s action sequences, intense presence, and chemistry with Kamal Haasan elevated the film’s dramatic and commercial appeal.
*Kamal Haasan led the film with emotional depth and action
Kamal Haasan played the central character—an upright, emotionally driven man wrongly accused and caught in a web of injustice. His performance blended action, sentiment, and social commentary—hallmarks of his acting craft. This role further established Kamal’s ability to carry a Hindi film with the same conviction he brings to Tamil cinema.
*Rajinikanth’s role added star power and style. The actor portrayed Kamal Haasan’s elder brother, an honest police officer who ultimately meets a tragic end. Though his screen time was limited, his stylish screen presence, emotional scenes, and action sequences left a strong impression. His sacrifice becomes one of the film’s emotional turning points.
