Remember that time Bollywood's Hero No. 1 shared in an old interview that James Cameron once offered him Avatar? Govinda claimed he turned it down because the director wanted to paint the actors' bodies, and the idea of lying in a hospital for months didn't sit well with him.
Fast forward to 2025, and a handful of X users are buzzing that Govinda finally made a cameo in Avatar 3 - Fire and Ash. The proof? Theatre snaps that look like they were lifted straight from a meme generator.
However, there's no truth to it. The pictures are either photoshopped or AI-generated. No studio press release, no confirmation from Govinda's camp and James Cameron's production team is staying mum.
Netizens have jumped on the joke train anyway. One X user deadpanned, "Ain't no way James Cameron convinced Govinda to do a cameo in Avatar 3." Another quipped, "Govinda finally said yes to James Cameron's Avatar." A third went full spoiler mode: "Spoiler Alert: Finally Govinda Made Biggest Comeback with #AvatarFireAndAsh Cameo."
Earlier this year, Govinda opened up again and mentioned that he met Cameron in America. Cameron's movie deal involved Rs 18 crore for 410 days of shooting, plus the infamous body-paint condition. However, Govinda turned it down saying "I'll end up in the hospital."
