The audience was surprised to see Janhvi Kapoor in a cameo in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. The highlight of the short scene was Janhvi being flirty with the lead star, Shahid Kapoor, while his former robotic girlfriend, Kriti Sanon, looked on. It was enough to excite the fans about the off-screen pair of Shahid and Janhvi.
Varun Dhawan: Munjya
Varun was not confined to one fun cameo this year but enjoyed two cameos in Dinesh Vijan’s horror comedy universe. He reprised Bhediya in Munjya with Abhay Verma and Sharvari and was a fresh entrant to the universe. Surprisingly, Abhishek Banerjee, who plays JD to Varun, a.k.a Bhaskar Sharma, is the only character from Dinesh Vijan’s horror universe who was seen in Stree, Bhediya, Munjya, and Stree 2.
Ananya Panday: Bad Newz
Cameos are usually shot at a time that the audience least expects them. An example of such a pleasant surprise was Ananya Panday in Bad Newz. Hidden from everyone in the show, her inclusion in the scene shocked the audience. She joins lead actor Triptii Dimri, who shares a cute and quirky story about how she got pregnant with Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk’s babies simultaneously.
Tamannaah Bhatia, Akshay Kumar, And Varun Dhawan: Stree 2
Stree 2, was released this year and was the all-time blockbuster film. It features Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. The major reason it was so successful is the element of surprise- the cameos, which had fans wanting more. But the show stealer was Tamannaah Bhatia, who danced to the tunes of ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ as ‘Shama’, and her chemistry with Pankaj Tripathi was simply unforgettable.
Akshay Kumar also had the audience in splits, playing the hilarious descendant of Sarkata. It is one of the most epic cameos of 2024. At the same time, Varun Dhawan put another cherry on the cake and appeared in a cameo as Bhediya from Amar Kaushik’s 2022 film. His return spiced up the scene and connected it to Dinesh Vijan’s horror-comedy franchise.
Vijay Deverakonda, Mrunal Thakur And Dulquer Salmaan: Kalki 2898 AD
When Kalki 2898AD was announced, fans were thrilled to see Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, and Amitabh Bachchan in the leading roles. Their performances were memorable. But the biggest welcome came from special appearances, where the audience clapped and cheered in cinema halls. Vijay Deverakonda portrayed Arjuna, one of the Pandava brothers, and Mrunal Thakur was mistaken for Kalki’s mother.
Sreeleela: Pushpa 2
One of the highlights of Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna’s Pan India film Pushpa 2: The Rule was the special dance appearance by Sreeleela. Before the film’s release, the makers teased the song Kissik, promising it would have the same impact as Samantha’s Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava from Pushpa: The Rise (2021). When the full song was played on the screen, Sreeleela and Allu Arjun’s chemistry and their dances pulled the crowd off the ground.
Salman Khan: Singham Again
Well before Singham Again hit the theatres, there were many rumors that Bollywood’s Bhaijaan Salman Khan would make a special appearance in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again cop drama. While some referred to it as fake news, others willingly wanted to watch Salman team up with Ajay Devgn as Akshay Kumar did in the end sequence of the earlier movie. Salman did appear, but not on the battlefield – instead, he made one of his epic cameos in a glamorous, mighty entry as the new joiner in the Shiva police squad as Dabangg movie character Chulbul Pandey.
Salman Khan: Baby John
Salman Khan was seen in Kalees-Varun Dhawan’s film Baby John as Agent Bhaijaan. This cameo of Salman Khan was way much better than his Singham Again cameo.
Conclusion
Looking back at 2024, it’s clear that special appearances in films added a new layer of excitement to the cinematic experience. Not only were these epic cameos taking the viewers to the edge of their seats, but they also gave some moments that the audience will remember for a long time. These appearances have shown that chemistry can be hotter, characters can be more complex, and intrigue can be tighter when the show focuses on giving them less.
