Thalapathy Vijay’s film GOAT arrives in theatres but fans feel MS Dhoni’s ‘greatest of all time’ cameo steals the show

MS Dhoni’s special appearance has emerged as the biggest highlight of Thalapathy Vijay’s film GOAT. Check out fan reactions

The cameo trend is huge in the Indian film industry at the moment, where actors who make a special appearance end up garnering more love than the lead stars. A good example of this was Vijay Deverakonda’s entry as Arjuna in Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas and Deepika Padukone’s Kalki 2898 AD. Or Shah Rukh Khan’s epic cameo in Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer national award winning film Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva (2022). Recently Katrina Kaif’s poster appearance in Vicky Kaushal’s film Bad Newz also received a lot of attention. Well, the same seems to have happened with Thalapathy Vijay’s Tamil film GOAT.
