Directed by the renowned Venkat Prabhu and featuring the immensely popular Thalapathy Vijay, “The Greatest Of All Time” (GOAT) movie is creating waves in the Kollywood industry. The film, which is already generating significant buzz, might just feature a special appearance by one of India’s greatest cricketing legends and World Cup-winning captain, MS Dhoni. This speculation has set the fans of both Tamil cinema and cricket abuzz with excitement.
The excitement reached new heights after Venkat Prabhu hinted in a recent interview that the film would include a scene featuring a Chennai Super Kings (CSK) match, implying that Dhoni could make an appearance. This small mention of this possibility has ignited several speculations among Dhoni’s supporters, even though details about his role in the film remain scarce and mysterious.
“The Greatest Of All Time” is set for a grand theatrical release on September 5, 2024, in both standard and IMAX formats. With a big budget between ₹300 to ₹400 crore, this Tamil science-fiction film promises to be a mindblowing experience for the audieance. The storyline involves elements of time travel, with Vijay playing a double role as both father and son, which adds to the film’s intriguing premise.
The film boasts a star-studded cast that includes Prabhu Deva, Sneha, Laila, Jayaram, and Yogi Babu, ensuring a cinematic experience filled with top-tier performances. One of the central themes of the film is time travel, which is expected to be a major draw for audiences. The combination of an engaging storyline, high-profile cast, and cutting-edge special effects positions “GOAT” as a potential blockbuster in Tamil cinema.
Will MS Dhoni Make His First Movie Appearance with “GOAT”?
If the rumors prove true, this would mark MS Dhoni’s first appearance in a movie. Although Dhoni has never acted in a movie before, he has been the subject of a widely known biopic “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story.” Released in 2016, this 190-minute sports drama film featured the late Sushant Singh Rajput in the role of Dhoni, bringing the cricketer’s life story to the big screen. The film was a major success and cemented Dhoni’s status as a beloved figure in Indian popular culture.
Dhoni’s involvement in cinema didn’t stop there. Alongside his wife Sakshi Dhoni, he ventured into film production, backing a Tamil romantic-comedy film directed by Ramesh Thamilmani in his directorial debut last year. This move solidified his connection with the Tamil film industry, particularly given his more than a decade long association with Chennai through the CSK franchise.
