While the actors blame it on the scripts, the directors blame it on the ego of the stars.
"Heroes are extremely possessive about their movies and want their films to be known only by them. Actors have a separate fan-follow and the actors don’t want to disappoint them," Tamil Director Bala says.
Tamil cinema's two pillars, Kamal Hassan and Rajnikanth have done about 16 movies together-but that's in the early days of their career.
As they grew into larger than life figures, they have stayed separate on the silver screen in the recent past.
Actors Surya and Vikram came together for Pithamagan but soon the on-screen chemistry vanished resulting in an unspoken clash between the two. Even young heroes want to be single on-screen now.
"There are a lot of good directors who can do it. But resistance is from the heroes who're saying that gimme a single-hero subject," says Tamil Actor Arya.
Thus it might take some time before we see Rajnikanth, Kamal Hassan, Vijay, Ajith, Vikram together in one film. Till the stars agree to share the screen space, the audience will have to wait for a multi-starrer.
