Mumbai, "Jawan", a pan-India film that is on a roll with its record-breaking box office collections, treated viewers to not just one but two Shah Rukh Khans on screen. Directed by Tamil filmmaker Atlee, the movie features the superstar in the role of Vikram Rathore and his son Azaad. Critics and audiences are praising the film for being an impressive blend of high-octane stunts and a politically charged narrative with a strong emotional core. Here are seven more films that feature Shah Rukh in dual roles: 1. "Karan Arjun" (1995) - The story revolves around the titular brothers, who are reincarnated years later to avenge their father's murder at the hands of their property-hungry uncle. Also starring Salman Khan in a dual avatar, "Karan Arjun" was directed by Rakesh Roshan. 2. "Duplicate" (1998) - In this movie, directed by Mahesh Bhatt, Shah Rukh stars as an aspiring chef Bablu, and Manu, a notorious gangster. The film did not do well at the box office. 3. "Paheli" (2005) - Shah Rukh plays Kishanlal and Prem in the film directed by Amol Palekar. A ghost called Prem takes Kishanlal's place at the latter's house and romances his wife Lachchi (Rani Mukerji) when Kishanlal goes away on a business trip. 4. "Don: The Chase Begins Again" (2006) - An updated version of 1978's "Don", originally starring Amitabh Bachchan, this action film saw Shah Rukh play Vijay, a common man aspiring to make it big in Mumbai. Vijay is sent on a secret mission to impersonate Don after government authorities discover he is a look-alike of the most-wanted international criminal. The actor reprised the titular character in its 2011 sequel "Don 2". 5. "Om Shanti Om" (2007) - Another reincarnation drama, but with an ode to the Hindi cinema of the 1970s and 1980s. Shah Rukh played Om Prakash Makhija, a junior film artist in the '70s era who dreams to become a superstar one day. Om is reincarnated as superstar Om Kapoor, who sets out to avenge the murder of the love of his life, actor Shantipriya. The Farah Khan directorial also marked the Bollywood debut of Deepika Padukone, who also starred in the dual roles of Shantipriya and Sandy. 6. "Ra.One" (2011) - It may have been dubbed as a failure at the box office, but this Anubhav Sinha-directed movie has gained cult status over the years. It starred Shah Rukh as Shekhar Subramanium, a game designer who designs G.One, the game's protagonist, to look like him. 7. "Fan" (2016) - In this experimental Maneesh Sharma film, Shah Rukh stars in the dual role of film star Aryan Khanna and his lookalike obsessive fan Gaurav Chandna.

There is an existing gap that needs to be filled and at Flipkart, we saw an opportunity to create great video content which is easier for people to consume, that is mobile-first,” said Prakash Sikaria, Vice President - Growth &amp; Monetization at Flipkart.

Mumbai, Apr 26 () Filmmaker Karan Johar on Sunday said he is apologetic for his social media posts, many of which may have come off as "insensitive", at a time when the world is fighting the coronavirus outbreak. Johar's post came as a reaction to Australian comedian Greta Lee Jackson's parody video of "normal" people -- two round-the-clock working doctors, an unemployed person to a man who was rendered homeless after his landlord refused to decrease the rent -- taking a jibe at celebrities posting videos from the comfort of their homes about their day.The video called out American popular host Ellen DeGeneres for "broadcasting from her mansion", Australian presenter Amanda Keller for "dancing around her massive kitchen" to Australian news anchor Samantha Armytage for talking to her audience from her "sprawling rural property" and saying, "we are all in this together".The two minute-long clip shared on Twitter mocked the ignorance of the celebrities and ended with the quote, "We are so glad you are ok. You are the true heroes. Give us your money." Sharing this video on the microblogging site, Johar wrote, "This hit me hard and I have realised many of my posts may have been insensitive to many.""I apologise profusely and wish to add none of it was intentional and came from a place of sharing but clearly may have lacked emotional foresight. I am sorry," he added.The filmmaker has been uploading videos on Instagram with his twins, Roohi and Yash, amid the lockdown. Earlier, director Farah Khan expressed her displeasure with tone-deaf Bollywood celebrities uploading their workout videos from home amid the pandemic."It's my humble request from all the 'celebrities' and 'stars' that please stop making your workout videos and bombarding us with it. I can understand that you all are privileged and you don't have any other worries in this global pandemic except for looking after your figures. But some of us, most of us have bigger concerns during this crisis," Khan had said. JUR RDSRDS
