GOAT: MS Dhoni's cameo in Thalapathy Vijay's film receives exciting reactions, but here's a twist!
The highly anticipated Tamil film GOAT aka Greatest of All Time, starring Thalapathy Vijay, hit theatres with much excitement. Directed by Venkat Prabhu, the movie features a star-studded cast including Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, Sneha, and Ajmal Ameer. In GOAT, Vijay plays dual roles: a Special Anti-Terrorism Squad officer and his son. Fans were excited to see Vijay in action, but the movie received mixed reviews on its release
While some viewers loved Vijay's performance, praising his charm and on-screen presence, others felt the movie didn't live up to expectations. Despite the divided opinion, GOAT had a solid start at the box office. It earned well on its opening day, showing that Vijay's fan base is as strong as ever. Many fans are especially excited because GOAT is likely Vijay's second last movie before he enters politics, with rumours that he may soon make the shift to a political career. One scene in particular is getting a lot of attention: a cameo by cricket legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni aka MS Dhoni.
Further in this entertainment news, MS Dhoni, who is widely loved in India, appears in an archive clip playing in an IPL match for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Even though it's not a new scene, audiences were thrilled to see the cricketer on screen. Dhoni's appearance added a fun twist to the film, with many fans saying it was one of the highlights of the movie. The internet is buzzing with praise for this unexpected moment. On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), a fan posted, "You know what, It is purely MS Dhoni who makes us sit in the climax of #GOAT not @actorvijay Few glimpses of him making theaters electrifying! Especially this original cricket scene used in the movie was ultra goosebumps material". Another fan posted, "This moment when the theatre erupted big time."

The way @vp_offl has brought in the #CSK flavor to the film, #Dhoni reference and especially the shot when #Thaladhoni looks at the sky is quite outstanding. Requires special mention and a lot of creativity has gone into it ?#GOAT#KamalHaasan#Vijay pic.twitter.com/LIlJYgJtes
