Delhi Airport Buzzes with Excitement as Anupam Kher and Kamal Haasan Cross Paths
New Delhi, December 19, 2025 - A chance encounter at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi between veteran actors Anupam Kher and Kamal Haasan has sent waves of excitement among fans and film enthusiasts. The unexpected meeting of two of Indian cinema's most respected figures quickly became a trending topic on social media, with fans expressing their delight at seeing the "two legends in one frame".
Anupam Kher, known for his versatile roles in Bollywood and international cinema, shared his excitement about the meeting on social media platform X. He posted a photo with Kamal Haasan, describing him as "one of the FINEST actors of Indian Cinema". Kher also stated he has been an admirer of Haasan's work for many years and has learned a lot from him as an actor.
According to Kher, the two actors spent almost an hour together in the airport lounge, engaging in a "rich conversation" that covered a wide range of topics. These topics included world cinema, the legendary director K. Balachander, life lessons, favorite books, and of course, the iconic Rajinikanth. Kher expressed his gratitude for Haasan's "wisdom, warmth, and appreciation".
Kamal Haasan, a stalwart of South Indian cinema and a celebrated actor, director, and politician, has consistently pushed boundaries with his work. His film "Thug Life," directed by Mani Ratnam, was released in June 2025. He is currently filming for "KH 237," directed by Anbariv, while also fulfilling his parliamentary duties. Furthermore, he is set to produce a film starring Rajinikanth, though the director is yet to be finalized.
Anupam Kher has also been busy with his recent directorial venture, "Tanvi the Great," marking his return to direction after 23 years. The film, which stars debutant Shubhangi Dutt, was screened at the International Film Festival of India 2025. Kher's other recent acting projects include "Hari Hara Veera Mallu" and "Calorie," both released this year, and he is currently working on "The India House" and a reported sequel to "Khosla Ka Ghosla".
The meeting between these two cinematic giants has sparked hopes among fans for a potential collaboration in the future. Despite their extensive careers and mutual admiration, Anupam Kher and Kamal Haasan have not yet worked together in a film. The chance encounter at Delhi Airport serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of the Indian film industry and the respect that exists between its leading figures.
