In the world of entertainment, celebrity cameos are always an exciting surprise for viewers. Whether it’s a blink-and-you-miss-it appearance or a small but memorable role, these moments add an extra layer of delight to our favorite films and TV shows. Here are ten instances where big stars made brief but noteworthy appearances in various productions.
1. Deven Bhojani in Scam 1992: In a seemingly insignificant scene, Bhojani briefly appears as Jagruti’s uncle, handing out pamphlets at a shop. The backstory behind this cameo is equally intriguing. Apparently, director Hansal Mehta asked Bhojani to join the shoot since he lived nearby, considering him to be a lucky charm.
2. Rekha in Vanity Fair: Keep an eye out for a young Farhan Akhtar in a dancing lesson scene led by courtesan Rasa Devi, played by Rekha. As Akhtar was assisting director Mira Nair on the film, he was asked to step in as an extra cast member during the shoot.
3. Vidya Balan in Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai: Balan makes a brief appearance wearing a burkha and framed in a window during the Tayyab Ali song. Rumor has it that she did this cameo as a good-luck charm for producer Ekta Kapoor and director Milan Luthria, following their successful collaboration in The Dirty Picture.
4. Anushka Sharma in Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.: In a poster seen briefly as Sanjay Dutt walks through a hallway of the medical college, fans were delighted to spot Sharma. The picture went viral when the actress herself tweeted it, complete with happy emojis.
5. Rani Mukerji in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani: During the evening party for Aditi’s wedding, as Bunny sings Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein, you can catch Mukerji sitting next to Ranbir Kapoor. Interestingly, Mukerji confessed that she has never watched the film in its entirety, so she might not even be aware of her cameo.
6. Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2: Pitt’s appearance is so quick that you might need to pause and rewind to catch it. Playing a character called Vanisher, he makes a three-second appearance as he hilariously hits power lines and gets electrocuted. It’s said that he only asked for a cup of coffee as his fee for this role.
7. Hugh Jackman in Cyber: In a dark alley, Jackman’s character offers to sell valuable evidence to Molotovgirl. However, things take a turn when he tries to negotiate for more money and gets shot. And just like that, his cameo comes to an unexpected end.
8. Sarah Jessica Parker in Forgetting Sarah Marshall: If you’re a fan of Sex and the City and Jason Segel, you’ll find this cameo particularly amusing. As Segel’s character drunkenly exclaims, I’m on Sex and the City. What’s up, Miranda? upon arriving in Hawaii, Parker passes by swiftly. Interestingly, the Sex and the City movie premiered just a month later, making this cameo incredibly timely.
9. Matt Damon in Thor: Ragnarok: In this Marvel film, Damon appears as Loki, dressed up as their father Odin, enjoying a play that recaps the events of Thor: The Dark World and Loki’s supposed heroic death. Damon agreed to the role after receiving a call from Chris Hemsworth, finding the scene hysterical.
These cameo appearances by A-list celebrities add an extra layer of excitement and intrigue to our favorite movies and TV shows.
