Competition between Rajinikanth & Thalapathy Vijay

There was a time when Rajinikanth single-handedly ruled the Tamil film industry, as no one was close to his box office pull. At 73, he’s still a crowd puller, but now, he’s not the only force. It’s still a topic of argument, but many consider Thalapathy Vijay a much bigger superstar in Kollywood in the present era. As a result, there’s a strong rivalry among fans of both the stars.

In the state of Tamil Nadu, both Rajini and Vijay have proved their mettle over the years by delivering the biggest openings. When it comes to global collection, both the stars have delivered films with a sum of over 600 crores gross. Even domestically, there’s a cut-to-cut battle between the both.
