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.”
