Get ready for a cinematic surprise that no one saw coming: Ajay Devgn is making a comeback to the Mastiii franchise after 21 long years! But here’s where it gets controversial—while fans are buzzing with excitement, others are already criticizing the film for its treatment of female characters. So, is this a nostalgic triumph or a missed opportunity? Let’s dive in.
The fourth installment of the Masti series, Mastiii 4, is set to bring back the beloved trio of Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani in what promises to be a raunchy comedy filled with laughs and, of course, cameos. Among the surprises? Genelia Deshmukh, Riteish’s real-life wife, is joining the fun. But the real shocker? Ajay Devgn, an original cast member, is returning for a brief yet highly anticipated cameo. And this is the part most people miss—his appearance might just be the silver lining in a film already mired in debate.
According to Bollywood Hungama, Devgn’s cameo will reportedly appear in the third act or possibly at the very end of the film. While the scene is said to be hilarious, its primary purpose seems to be fan service—a treat for those who’ve been with the franchise since the beginning. As one insider put it, ‘Ajay’s scene is a hilarious sequence that will delight both his fans and longtime followers of the series.’
The excitement began when the trailer revealed Arshad Warsi’s involvement, but Devgn’s return has taken the hype to a whole new level. Given his history with director Milap Zaveri and producer Indra Kumar, it’s no surprise the filmmakers jumped at the chance to bring him back. ‘Ajay shares a great bond with Milap and Indra,’ a source explained. ‘He was even the chief guest at the launch of their film Tera Yaar Hoon Main last year. With Indra directing him multiple times, including in the upcoming Dhamaal 4, Ajay was more than happy to join the cameo. The scene has turned out fantastic, and the team can’t wait to see the audience’s reaction.’
But here’s the bold question: Does a star-studded cameo make up for the film’s controversial portrayal of women? While some argue it’s a harmless comedy, others believe it perpetuates problematic stereotypes. And this is where you come in—what’s your take? Is Mastiii 4 a nostalgic win or a step backward? Let’s spark a conversation in the comments!
With the original film releasing in 2004, Devgn’s return after two decades feels like a full-circle moment—if the scene lives up to the hype. Whether it’s a masterstroke or a misstep, one thing’s for sure: Mastiii 4 is a film you won’t want to miss. So, are you team ‘excited’ or team ‘skeptical’? Let us know!
