Without further delay, let us tell you that the superstar is none other than –Amitabh Bachchan. Yes, the veteran actor shot for a cameo in R Balki's Padman -- which stars Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte in lead roles -- in New Delhi.
Sonam Kapoor took to Twitter to announce how grateful and lucky she is to be sharing the screen space with Amitabh Bachchan.

Amitabh Bachchan, who has featured in Balki-directed Cheeni Kum, Paa and Shamitabh, also had a guest appearance in Ki & Ka.
"I work tomorrow .. a shoot for R Balki .. for the film he does with Akshay Kumar .. a special appearance for a few minutes. (Balki) must have my presence in some form or another, and so here I am," he wrote in his blog.
Amitabh also complimented Balki and wrote: "Balki does carry his sincerity at every step of his creativity."
Turning a bit philosophical, Big B wrote: “And so goes the day and our life… Disguising our shapes and sizes… Hiding the real from the unreal… Never allowing the insides to reveal the outside… No matter what the confessions, the honest blurt outs, the compelling circumstances… there shall always be that inner that no one shall ever discover. And long may that last.”
Intrestingly, Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar have earlier worked together in films like Aankhen, Waqt: The Race Against Time and Khakee.
Padman, Twinkle Khanna’s debut film as a producer, is a biopic of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a small town entrepreneur from Tamil Nadu who invented low-cost sanitary napkins to generate awareness in rural areas about its usages and hygiene. Akshay first announced the project on the first day of the New Year.
