As War 2 and Coolie gear up for an all-time high clash at the box office this Independence Day, fans and critics alike can`t wait to see how the clash turns out. The anticipation among the fans to watch their favourite stars on the big screen is also increasing. Amid the excitement, fans have dug up an old nostalgic video of Hrithik Roshan sharing screen with superstar Rajinikanth 39 years ago.

Rajinikanth and Hrithik shared the screen

Hrithik appeared as a child artist alongside Rajinikanth in the 1986 film Bhagwaan Dada. In the film, Rajinikanth played the titular character, who raises Govinda, played by a young Hrithik, after he is abandoned by his mother, Shanti.

Interestingly, 39 years later, the two prolific actors are set to appear again on the big screens, although not in the same film, but on the same release date. Hrithik will headline War 2 while Rajinikanth features in Coolie. Both the anticipated films are scheduled to hit theatres on August 14. This marks one of the rare clashes which has fans reminiscing about their past on-screen connection.
