Double roles and dual roles are a popular and much-loved trope in Indian cinema. From Salman Khan's Judwaa (1997) to Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan (2023), the concept has been explored in various films. The latest in the list are Akshay Kumar and Wamiqa Gabbi's unexpected double roles in the recently released horror comedy Bhooth Bangla.
Here are other upcoming films which are also returning to the two role formula:
Toxic: Yash will be seen in two distinct looks, portraying the dual role of a father and his lookalike son. The film also stars Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria and Huma Qureshi and is set to release on June 4.
Shakti Shalini: Aneet Padda will headline the next project in Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, playing two characters: powerful protector Shakti and vengeful spirit Shalini.
Ramayana: Ranbir Kapoor will be seen in a dual role in director Nitesh Tiwari's much-anticipated film Ramayana, portraying Lord Rama as well as Parashurama, both being Lord Vishnu's avatars.
Animal Park: Ranbir Kapoor will be playing the dual role of Ranvijay and Aziz in the sequel to his 2023 film Animal.
Kalki 2: Prabhas will be seen as both Karna and Bhairava in the upcoming sequel to Nag Ashwin's 2024 film Kalki 2898 AD.
