If we observe the recent films in Tamil film industry all the recent hit films have one thing in common. That is, the putting a cameo or guest appearance of a star hero in another star’s movie. We have seen cameos from the same industry and other industry as well. The trend of this Star cameos was started by Lokesh Kanagaraj and Kamal Haasan’s Vikram.
Kamal Haasan’s comeback film, Vikram had Malayalan star Fahad Faasil in an important role and everyone knows about the most hyped Rolex played by Suriya which worked so big for the film. So much so that the fans are still demanding a standalone film for the character.
Even Rajinikanth’s latest film, Jailer, also has cameos of Kannada Chakravarthy Shiva Raj Kumar, and Malayalam Superstar Mohan Lal which worked superbly for the film as the audiences were thrilled by the scenes which had their presence.
Mani Ratnam’s comeback film, Ponniyin Sellvan was a multi starrer film. Apart from that the recent films had frequent presence of Vijay Sethupati and Fahad Faasil as both the actors appeared in crucial roles in Tamil and Hindi languages. Even upcoming films are also going in the same way as Kamal Hassan’s all next films will reportedly have the cameos. Rajinikanth’s next film also will have Rana, Fahad Faasil, and Big B Amitabh Bachchan in the major roles.
In the past years, there was a shortage of multi-starrers with established male stars in the Tamil film industry. The only film that MGR and Sivaji Ganesan acted in together was Koondukkili (1954). Although Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan acted in several films together, they did not do many films after a while, though they remained friends off-screen. Their last movie together was K Balachander’s Thillu Mullu (1981), where Kamal Haasan made a cameo.
