It is not the first time that this has happened, as the actor and the player do look a bit similar.

On the work front, the filmmaker who last directed an episode of the hit series 'Modern Love: Mumbai' will be helming the film 'Faraaz' an action thriller which will star actors Aamir Ali and Juhi Babbar in the lead roles. The release date of the movie has not been announced yet.
