In an unbelievable twist, cricketer MS Dhoni made a stunning cameo in Thalapathy Vijay’s ‘GOAT’. No, Dhoni did not act in the film. However, a segment showed him playing an IPL match and Vijay also appeared on screen.

MS Dhoni’s cameo in ‘GOAT’ lasted only for a few seconds. But, it was enough to get the audience hooting and cheering. It should also be noted that both Vijay and Dhoni are called ‘Thala’ by their fans.

To keep an eye:

Although Dhoni is a global celebrity, it is worth noting that he has a huge fan following in Chennai as well, as he has been associated with the IPL team CSK since its inception. In fact, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin once said, “I am also a fan of MS Dhoni. Dhoni, the adopted son of Tamil Nadu, should continue playing in CSK.”

Thalapathy Vijay’s much-awaited film ‘GOAT’ (The Greatest of All Time) had a solo release on September 5, 2024. Directed by Venkat Prabhu, the film is significant as it is likely to be Vijay’s second-to-last project before he enters a full-time political career. He has already launched his political party, Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam, and is preparing to contest the Tamil Nadu state elections in 2026.

‘Goat’ features Vijay in a double role, one as the hero and the other as the villain. The film stars Prashanth, Prabhu Deva and Sneha, while the music is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
