The blockbuster movie "2012" about global catastrophes is on channel 5 right now and I was surprised to see that Jimi Mistry who plays Kal Nazir from Corrie made an appearance in the first few minutes. He played Dr. Satnam Tsurutani. I was so shocked that I had to have a closer look to see if it was really him.

I knew he played Dr Fonseca on Eastenders in 2001, but this is something else. Wow.

Did anyone else notice?

He also starred in a Hollywood film!

I had no idea. He's certainly been around.

He was in East is East and West is West.

I don't watch Corrie btw, its shite.

From Heather Graham and Marisa Tomei to Leanne Battersby is a strange journey!

Omg! Im watching that right now!

He's an actor! It's what they do! ACT! What did you expect?

Hes well known for films like East Is East and he was lead in The Guru. I feel like Corrie is a step back for him to be honest.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious but is there really any need to be so RUDE and sarcastic? It was a surprise to me, that's all. You need to lighten up.

There's no need to be rude and sarcastic. Grow up

Fair play to him, he's done quite a bit

He was also in Ella Enchanted with Anne Hathaway.
