It's that point of the year, to cherish the dearest relationship for every and each considered one of us... Knowing someone or being amicable with them doesn't cause them to friends. Cinema is a fickle thing, catfights are as normal as normal can get & partying with someone you took a dig at 10 minutes back doesn't really come as a shocker. IG takes a glance at one of the crucial tinsel town friends, those who find themselves 'friends' to delight the society and fans, foe turned friends, 'friends' who don't even know one another and so forth and so forth... Rajinikanth - Kamal Haasan
The two living legends in Tamil cinema, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan have known one another since their earlier days in cinema; in truth Rajini's debut was in Kamal's Apoorva Ragangal. Both have rightfully earned the names Superstar and Ulaganayagan, for while one is the most important star in Indian cinema, the opposite is a multi-faceted actor who has introduced new nuances in cinema. Celebrating the sort of star status is certain to bring clashes among one another, some amount of media rivalry & bitterness. However through time the 2 actors have paved way and set an example for the young and stood strong, supporting and recognizing each other. When Rajini didn't attend the prestigious audio launch of 'Dasavatharam' (2008), rumor mills worked overtime that the superstars have an ego clash and can't stand one another's victory; however, both gave a deaf ear to all of it. When 'Kamal 50' was celebrated in 2009, Rajini's gift (a painting where Goddess of Art held Kamal as a kid in her hand and other superstar children including Rajini followed at the ground meaning Kamal is a unique child of the art) said all of it! Kamal on his turn had expressed Rajini is his ally within the industry. Need we are saying more? That is easily the most efficient relationship that has stood the test of time in Tamil cinema. Vijay - Ajith
The Thala - Thalapathy of Tamil cinema... You certainly cannot call them the most productive of friends, they do not claim to be either, but Vijay - Ajith's 'friendship' is likely one of the most spoken about. While their fans have nasty fights of who's a greater star / actor, Vijay and Ajith have always tried to take care of an amicable relationship. Last year through the shoot of Mankatha and Velayudham, Ajith on knowing Vijay is within the same place went and met him and later Vijay came around along with his family and presented an eye for Ajith who cooked a meal for Vijay and family. Ajith sported this watch within the film and all this shut individuals who fight against each other's hero somewhat but not entirely. However, Vijay and Ajith have spoken little or no about their friendship to the media or fans. Dhanush - Simbu
The latest celebrity foe turned friends. Until some time ago Dhanush and Simbu couldn't stand each other and used to take a dig at each other's achievements, films and what not! In fact, they used to have clashes on microblogging pages and Simbu's Vaalu teaser had a dialogue by Hansika that took an immediate dig at Dhanush! While one boasted off a Sachin anthem, the opposite had a Love Anthem to his credit. As a surprising turn of events, they bonded big time on the SIIMA Awards recently held in Dubai. After they arrived they did not acknowledge each other's presence but it's said that Dhanush cheered for Simbu when he bagged an award and Simbu did the similar when Dhanush received one. Suddenly, when Dhanush was called up at the stage he invited STR to croon 'Kolaveri...' with him much to the shock of the gathered! They further told that they were enemies until then and feature buried the hatchet. They traveled back together and recently Simbu threw an enormous surprise bash for Dhanush on his birthday! Is this what people call a surprising surprise? Simbu - Jiiva
This was one big time news maker. Initially Simbu was purported to be cast in super hit 'Ko' but he walked out of it & Jiiva replaced him and ever since then, there was several spats between them. In a press meet when Jiiva was asked if Simbu was his friend he passed a comment that he is not but he can trust Simbu but not people who backstab, which backfired at Jiiva because the comment was misinterpreted and bloated up by the media. This took another turn as Jai supported Simbu talking to a media house. Not only these, when Ko became an instant hit fans criticized the film on Simbu's microblogging page to which he requested them to not discuss others' films on his pages. All the ugly spats came to an end as Simbu tweeted Jiiva wishing him luck for Nanban and a cheerful birthday and the latter thanked him. They won't be good friends, but they have got visibly buried their differences and brought step one towards being pals, what say? Trisha - Nayantara
What's friendship, catfights or gossip without some drama from our girlies? Albeit Trisha and Nayantara shared an amicable relationship initially, offers of 1 going to a different continuously caused a bitter battle amongst them, that is certain to happen considering the fact that when Nayan was the numero uno queen of Tamil and Telugu cinema, Trisha was her biggest competitor. Most credit the beginning to this spat to 'Kuruvi' that was initially offered to Nayan. And when Trisha partied with Nayantara's ex, Prabhu Deva, things only got bloated up even more. However, shockingly, both the actresses started some friendly talk on the 59th South Filmfare Awards and chatted away within the award ceremony! It's nice to look two top actresses occasion once again! Trisha - Lakshmi Rai
It started when Lakshmi Rai told the scribes that she was offered a decision of roles in Venkat Prabhu's Mankatha and chose the nature she did because the other, played by Trisha, had no scope and that she was first signed on board. Trisha reacting to this said that if she was given a call she would have still stuck to the similar role as Ajith's lady love within the blockbuster. However, both the actresses buried their differences on the SIIMA Awards that still paved way for Simbu - Dhanush's friendship. What's film fraternity without some catfights and gossip? However it's nice to peer our stars bury their differences and move on than having ugly spats. IndiaGlitz wishes you all an excessively Happy Friendship Day!
