Double roles in B'wood

Two for the price of one. B'wood fans have always considered double roles to be a double whammy. After all, they get to watch their favs twice over! Even though there have been instances of such films bombing at the box office, it's every directors dream to try out the formula once in a lifetime. Here are some 'double roles' to watch out for...

Priyanka Chopra in 'What's Your Rashee': So, the diva has finally joined the bandwagon of double roles. In fact, it's not double but 12 roles that our Piggy Chops is all set to play with Harman Baweja and directed by Ashutosh Gowariker.
Bipasha Basu in 'All The Best': Trying her luck in the double role arena is Bips. The Bong beauty is all set to portray two characters in her upcoming movie 'All The Best'.
Shahid Kapoor in 'Kaminey': Vishal Bhardwaj's next 'Kaminey' has Shahid Kapoor in a double role. Shahid plays the character of twin brothers who have different kinds of speech disorders. Among them, one lisps and the other stammers!
Deepika Padukone in 'CC2C': In 'Chandni Chowk to China' Deepika portrayed one character which was purely Indian, whereas the other one was Chinese. She did her best, but the film sank like a bad Chinese missile.
Tusshar Kapoor: Coming in a double role next is Tusshar Kapoor in Bellari Sagar's next film. The movie has him playing twins in a romantic comedy.
Akshay Kumar in '8X10 Tasveer': Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has played quite a handful of double roles in his career. First it was in 'Jai Kishen', then 'Aflatoon' and 'Khiladi 420' and the latest one is '8X10 Tasveer'.
Kajol in 'Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi': Kajol played a double role in the movie 'Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi', which proved out to be a commercial failure. Maybe, two Kajols were too hot to handle!
Hrithik Roshan in 'Kaho Na Pyaar Hai': One name that stands when we talk of double roles is that of Bollywood hottie Hrithik Roshan, who performed the dual act in his debut film, 'Kaho Na Pyar Hai'. Then came 'Krrish', where the actor not only played double characters but also flaunted two contrasting styles and looks.
Deepika Padukone in 'OSO': Deepika Padukone has essayed a double role in her debut movie 'Om Shanti Om'. In the SRK-starrer, Deepika played two roles that was seperated by a gap of 25 years.
Bipasha Basu in 'Dhoom 2': Monali and Shonali were the two characters played by Bipasha Basu in 'Dhoom 2'. On of them was a police officer and the other one was dumb but beautiful girl.
Salman Khan in 'Judwaa': Besides all the controversies and fights, Bollywood's 'bad' boy Salman Khan also got a taste of the double whammy. The actor was seen playing the characters of Raja and Prem Malhotra in 'Judwaa'.
Shah Rukh Khan in 'Duplicate': Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has had quite a tryst with double roles. The actor was seen playing double roles in films like 'Duplicate', 'Don' and 'Paheli'. But among all these, most remembered role was that in 'Duplicate', where SRK played the role of a gangster and the other King Khan was a simple sweet guy working in a hotel as a chef.
