Tamil Nadu's beloved icons, Thala Dhoni and Thalapathy Vijay, have been linked together through a recent rumor surrounding Vijay's upcoming film "GOAT." While Dhoni enjoys a massive fanbase as the captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Vijay's stardom in the Tamil film industry is undeniable.
The buzz surrounding a potential Dhoni cameo in "GOAT" intensified after the film's trailer featured a shot of Vijay in a cricket stadium. However, director Venkat Prabhu has now put an end to the speculation, confirming that Dhoni does not appear in the film.
