The internet has been flooded with AI-generated videos of Bollywood star Govinda making a 'cameo' appearance in James Cameron's latest Avatar film, 'Fire and Ash.' However, fans are being left in the dark about the truth behind these viral clips. While some fans are having a blast, exclaiming 'Yaar, this scene gave me goosebumps!', the reality is far from it. The videos are entirely fake, created using AI tools to depict Govinda, dressed in the iconic blue Na'vi attire, delivering his famous 'batti bujha' lines. The origin of this meme dates back to an old interview of Govinda, where he claimed that James Cameron offered him a role in the original Avatar film, which he rejected. Govinda recalled meeting a businessman in America who allegedly introduced him to Cameron, but the story seems to be a work of fiction. Govinda's wife, Sunita Ahuja, has also denied the claims, stating that she has no knowledge of such an offer being made. The authenticity of the story remains unclear, leaving fans wondering what's real and what's not. The Avatar franchise has been a global phenomenon, with the first film released in 2009 and the latest installment, 'The Way of Water,' hitting theaters in 2022. The third film, 'Fire and Ash,' has been well-received by audiences worldwide, grossing ₹65 crore in its opening weekend in India. As the debate continues, one thing is certain: the fake Govinda cameo videos have captured the hearts of many fans, leaving them to wonder what could have been if the actor had indeed made an appearance in the film.
