The film starred an ensemble cast including Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Rampal and many others. Interestingly, the film consisted of the highest number of cameos.
Moreover, the film was also the longest-running film while it had the most deleted scenes. One of which was when a few popular actors, including R Madhavan, Boman Irani, Zayed Khan, and others graced the award show shown in the film.
Now, an Instagram user has shared a video wherein the deleted scene of the film featuring the cameo roles of several Bollywood actors being interviewed was shown. The clip starts off with Karan Johar saying, “Did you know, Om Shanti Om ke award function wale scene ke liye Farah Khan ne joh interviews liye the, usme se kaafi film mein nahi dikhe.”
Following which, an array of A-listers from the industry giving small bites regarding who will win the prestigious award. While Zayed Khan said, “Woh toh mujhe hi milega”, Ashutosh Gowariker mentioned, “I think….”
Following which, Farhan Akhtar said, “Om definitely. Om ko hi milega. Par mujhe lagta hai yeh joh Best Actor aur Best Actress ka award hai, it should be one award – for Best Human Being. So, all the best to all the human beings who are coming here. Bahut kam hai.”
Later, many others stepped in front of the camera, including Boman Irani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and more, to talk about the one who deserves to win.
R Madhavan bared his heart out and he was heard saying that he is Shah Rukh Khan of the South Indian film industry, thus the award must be given to him.
He said, “Mujhe lagta hai mujhe milna chahiye tha, lekin unhone nominate tak nahi kiya. Aapko shayad pata nahi par south ke Shah Rukh Khan mujhe kaha jaata hai lekin yaha koi izzat hi nahi hota yaar.”
However, R Madhavan’s remark did not go well with the netizens. A section of fans trolled the actor and brutally trolled him. While one user penned, "R madhavan South ka SRK", another user commented, "South ka srk. meta humour."
