The cat’s out of the bag! Out of the numerous pleasant surprises that director Venkat Prabhu and his team had in store for Vijay’s film “The Greatest of All Time” (GOAT), a major revelation has taken the internet by storm. Trisha, the celebrated actress whose last Tamil film outing was Vijay’s “Leo,” makes a surprising cameo in the ‘Matta’ song from GOAT. The makers have officially unveiled this unexpected appearance to the delight of fans.
The notable actress Trisha recently took to social media to share a series of behind-the-scenes photos from the sets of GOAT. This surprise announcement piqued the curiosity of the audience and set social media abuzz. The momentum didn’t just stop there; the filmmakers followed up by releasing a promotional video clip of the ‘Matta’ song. In this vibrant number, viewers can see Trisha and Vijay recreate a memorable dance step from the iconic ‘Appadi Podu’ track from their hit film “Ghilli,” which turns 20 this year.
The social media post read, “5.3.2024💛🧿Just a lil jig that happened with my favourites🫶🏻#Goat#Matta,” further adding to the excitement and curiosity surrounding the film. The tweet quickly went viral, with fans and celebrities alike sharing their enthusiasm and support.
Interestingly, GOAT marks Trisha’s return to cameo appearances after a significant period. Her last cameo in a Tamil film dates back to 2008 in “Velli Thirai,” where she shared the screen with her “Ghilli” co-star Prakash Raj. Following that, Trisha made a brief appearance in the 2010 Telugu film “Ye Maaya Chesave,” which was also simultaneously shot in Tamil as “Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa,” where she starred opposite Silambarasan.
The film “Ghilli” not only became a milestone in Tamil cinema but also marked the first collaboration between Trisha and Vijay.
. Over the years, the duo has shared screen space in multiple films such as “Thirupaachi,” “Aathi,” “Kuruvi,” and last year’s “Leo.” The upcoming GOAT also facilitated Trisha’s reunion with Venkat Prabhu, who earlier directed her in the 2011 film “Mankatha.”
Furthermore, the commercial success of GOAT has been unprecedented. The producers recently shared that the film has raked in an impressive ₹126.32 crore as its day 1 worldwide gross collection. This staggering figure underscores the massive expectations and enthusiasm that fans have had for this star-studded venture.
Apart from Trisha’s surprise cameo, GOAT also serves as a grand reunion of several industry veterans and talents. Sneha, another prominent actress, has reunited with Vijay after a gap of 22 years, the last time being their collaboration in “Vaseegara.” Adding to the richness of the musical experience in GOAT, the film’s music has been composed by the celebrated Yuvan Shankar Raja, marking his first collaboration with Vijay since the 2003 film “Pudhiya Geethai.”
The film’s ensemble cast is nothing short of spectacular, bringing together celebrated actors such as Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prabhu Deva, Prashanth, Laila, Vaibhav, Mohan, Jayaram, and Ajmal Ameer. This all-star lineup has heightened the anticipation and made GOAT one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year.
For cinema lovers and fans eager to catch a glimpse of the magic on screen, the ‘Matta’ song promo video is available to watch online, offering a tantalizing preview of what GOAT has in store.
As Tamil cinema continues to captivate audiences globally, moments like Trisha’s unexpected appearance in GOAT remind us of the joy and excitement that only the silver screen can deliver. With fans buzzing and theatres filling up, the film’s release has proven that when legends reunite, the magic is truly timeless.
