I think ARR himself might be refusing to appear on screen. He is a very shy person.
And, I personally wouldn't like him to appear for such 1 and 2 seconds pieces like Ghai appears on screen in his film on any road or part of any crowd, nor the way they goofed up the end of Golmal Returns to make the director's name and face appear in the last scene. however, if it is a sincere musical scene crucial to the story line of the film in which some real musical personality has to appear on screen to give away some prestigious music award to someone, or to render a song himself, then I would sure like ARR to play such a role - something like Punkaj Udhas giving Chitthi Aayi Hai in Naam, or Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan appearing in the qawwaali of his first film, or some appearances of Jagjit Singh, etc. -- V On 11/10/2008 8:01 AM India Time, _Jahanzeb Farooq_ wrote: > the other day i was watching Rock On in which Anu Malik has a cameo > appearance. it came to my mind that despite the fact that ARR is such > a phenomenal success since a decade and has changed the entire face of > the bollywood music, but never any film director gave him a cameo > appearance in films he composed music for. when Subhash Ghai can > appear in all of his films why not he can give a cameo appearance to > ARR. after all ARR is a big celebrity and lot lot more people > recognize him than Anu Malik or Subhash Ghai etc. > i am just imagining the joy of seeing ARR in cameo role as himself.
