Even as early reviews are out and fans others are praising the action sequences and plot twists that come in Vijay's GOAT, cinema lovers who caught early shows of the movie are surprised by some of the cameos. Several have taken to social media to share their excitement about seeing some of their favourite stars sharing the screen with Vijay.
Directed by Venkat Prabhu, GOAT has Vijay playing a dual role, that of a father and a son.
One of the most notable cameos in the movies is that of Trisha Krishnan who teamed up with Vijay for a special song. The two had previously shared screen in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Leo, which was released in 2023.
Another delightful cameo in GOAT is that of popular actor Sivakarthikeyan who is reportedly playing himself in the movie.
Arguably the biggest "cameo" in GOAT is that of M.S. Dhoni who has a special place in the hearts of the people of Tamil Nadu because of his association with the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Chennai Superkings.
In fact, Dhoni is not the only “captain” making a cameo appearance in GOAT. There is also an AI-generated visual of actor-politician late Vijayakanth.
Apart from cameos, there are several tributes to popular actor Ajith Kumar.
