Kamal Haasan with Sridevi: The reunion in 2013: Their films together

Kamal Haasan & Sridevi

Even they don't know how many films they've done together but the guesstimate is around 30-35. The thespians, Kamal Haasan and Sridevi, have done films in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam over a span of nearly two-decades and yet, somewhere along the way, they stopped working together. For reasons unknown.

However, Kamal Haasan has said in interviews they were like siblings who bickered constantly on sets and he bullied her, much to her chagrin. As Sridevi said on the Tamil TV show Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi with Prakash Raj (the south Indian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?), Kamal Haasan used to make fun of her and called her "Sardarji" during the making of Satyavan, Savitri!

Despite all that, the two have spoken about each other with great appreciation for their respective talents and don't seem to have any problems... any more. For fans of great Indian cinema, an on-screen reunion with these two actor of actors is highly anticipated, but no producer nor screenwriter  has come up with anything worthy to assemble this dynamic duo together.

We think, it would have to come down to Kamal Haasan himself - a writer, director, producer - to create something suitable for the dual powerhouses. With breath that is baited, we wait. Until then, thank goodness for telecasts of their archival films on television and cable.

Have witnessed Sridevi's life from an adolescent teenager to the magnificeint lady she became. Her stardom was well deserved. Many happy moments with her flash through my mind including the last time I met her. Sadma's lullaby haunts me now. We'll miss her
