5 Cameos in Indian Films We Can’t Stop Rewatching

Sharanya Kumar

Shah Rukh Khan in Heyy Babyy (2007)

Shah Rukh Khan’s surprise appearance in the song ‘Mast Kalandar’ is the most-replayed part of the music video on YouTube — and for good reason. The star even performs a verse of his own and dances with the characters of the film.

Akshay Kumar in Om Shanti Om (2007)

Akshay Kumar returns the favour with his hilarious cameo in the SRK-starring Om Shanti Om. He plays an over-the-top action star attending a fictional award show, in which he is nominated for a fictional movie named Return of The Khiladi.

Multiple stars in 'Deewangi Deewangi'

Speaking of Om Shanti Om, the film features arguably the most star-studded sequence in cinema history. The song ‘Deewangi Deewangi’ is set at a Bollywood party and brings us one dancing celebrity after another. It’s always fun to re-watch the music video to see who pops up next! 

Amitabh Bachchan in English Vinglish (2012)

As Sridevi’s Shashi Godbole nervously boards her first flight, she finds that the person sitting next to her is none other than Amitabh Bachchan. He patiently guides her through the journey, and even translates the English dialogues of a film they watch together. 

Ranbir Kapoor in PK (2014)

There is a special scene at the end of the film in which PK (Aamir Khan) brings a fellow alien down to earth with him. We see a wide-eyed and bewildered Ranbir Kapoor, who presumably goes on his own journey to explore our world.
