Later, Deepika Padukone made headlines by lighting up the screen with her presence in Jawan, while Bobby Deol stole the spotlight with Animal.

Moods were already high when Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback film Pathaan hit the theaters after four years. Fans already knew that Salman Khan’s Tiger will be sharing screen space with SRK’s Pasaan in the action film. But no one was prepared for the sheer power of the stars and the bromance their sequence would unleash. Tiger appears and rescues Pathan from a predicament with an exhilarating set-piece of train action. At the end of the battle, the two huddle together, both wounded. In a fun meta-his scene, Pathan suggests that it might be time to retire after all these years. To this, Tiger says, “Bachchon pe ye sab nahi chhod sakte.” If the whistle-worthy introduction wasn’t enough, this moment towards the end of the film was definitely a winner.

Adding Deepika Padukone to the ensemble cast is the recipe for success. In Shah Rukh Khan’s second film of the year, Jawan, the actress had an extended cameo role. Director Atlee makes the most of the chemistry between SRK and Deepika and introduces her as her important character. Deepika plays Aishwarya, Azad’s mother. Her wrestling scenes in her trailer raised expectations for her appearance, but her role was more emotional. Aishwarya realizes that she has been wrongly convicted. In her prison she gives birth to her son. The song ‘Ararali Lalo’ is one of her songs that most poignantly depicts her mother’s love. At a press conference after the film’s release, SRK joked that he and Atlee had tricked her into playing a full-fledged role in the name of a cameo role. That’s how much of an impact it had.

Jawan Sanjay Dutt

Jawan’s star-studded cast got yet another addition in the form of Sanjay Dutt’s cameo appearance. This actor is really great as Constable Madhavan Naik. He arrives on a scooter wearing a white mundu. Amid the high-stakes action, he has a deadline to return home with his family for Onam Sadhya. It’s so fascinating. Dutt was so good in his exciting cameo that the makers added another scene featuring the actor in the extended cut of Jawan, which was released on OTT. It is revealed that he plays a major role in Azad’s plan.

Shefali Shah of Neyyat

Two talented actors, Shefali Shah and Vidya Balan, co-starred in Jalsa. A year after the film was released, Shah appeared in a cameo role in Balan’s Nee Yat. The detective drama did not receive critical acclaim, but its final moments caught attention. Shefali Shah comes into it and she has a way of taking over a scene. The film seems to hint at a team-up between Vidya and Shefali, and who wouldn’t want to see that?

Shah Rukh Khan in Tiger 3

After Salman Khan’s cameo appearance in Pattern, Shah Rukh Khan returned the favor with his scene-stealing presence in Tiger 3. His appearance delighted the fans and added to the on-screen friendship between SRK and Salman. This scene went viral as soon as the movie was released. In fact, Emraan Hashmi, who played the antagonist in the film, admitted that he watched the film a second time in theaters just to see the two stars on screen again. And that sentiment was echoed by the star’s many fans.

Hrithik Roshan from Tiger 3

Keeping a star’s involvement in a project secret for long can be difficult. But YRF Spy Universe has done a pretty good job of keeping things secret. Agent Kabir, played by Hrithik Roshan, made a surprise appearance in the film even after Aatish and SRK’s cameo appearance Emraan Hashmi was revealed as the villain. The actor appeared in the film’s end credits scene. His appearance raised expectations for the second match.

Bobby Deol played the violent and complex Abrar Haq in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal. The deaf-mute character will have an explosive clash with Ranbir Kapoor’s character in the film. Photos of the two actors shirtless in hand-to-hand combat went viral even before the movie was released in theaters. While Abrar’s portrayal drew criticism, Bobby easily stole the show with his passionate performance and brief cameo.

Vicky Kaushal in ‘Dhanki’

Vicky Kaushal’s cameo in ‘Dhanki’ was yet another proof that the actor can elevate any frame of any film. The film, directed by Rajkumar Hirani and starring Shah Rukh Khan, could be a major highlight for the actor. As Sook Hee, he gave a simple yet adorable performance. Kaushal brings a boy-next-door charm and sincerity to the character. His scenes won the hearts of the audience, who called him one of the best aspects of the movie.

The foot-tapping song will feature a number of cameos including Janhvi, Sara, Ananya and Varun, who will be seen shaking Ranveer’s legs to the catchy tune.
