Avatar is the number one movie franchise in the world, and with it’s star studded cast, many people are wondering if Indian actor Govinda actually had a cameo in the third film, Avatar: Fire and Ash.
According to Bheeshm International’s YouTube (via the Hindustan Times), the actor claimed that he was offered a role in the first movie by James Cameron himself. “I had met a Sardarji in America and gave him a business idea that worked. Some years later, he made me meet James Cameron. He asked me to do a film with James, so I invited them for dinner to discuss it. James told me the hero in the film was handicapped, so I said I am not doing the film. He offered me ₹18 crore for it and said I would be required to shoot for 410 days. I said that is okay, but if I paint my body, I will be in the hospital,” he claimed.
But did it all work out, and was he really in the third movie?
Was Govinda in Avatar: Fire and Ash?
No, Govinda was not in Avatar: Fire and Ash. The video that’s been circulating has been made by AI (artificial intelligence). In the video, Govinda’s face is superimposed on a Na’vi body, and is not made with the motion capture technology that James Cameron uses for the characters.
Director Pahlaj Nihalani had also rebuffed Govinda’s claims that he was approached by Cameron for the film in a conversation with PinkVilla. “That Avatar was actually my film. I had started it before Rangeela Raja. I don’t know if later he made the film differently,” he said. “I even gave the remake rights for it. I don’t know why he said that.”
