Bollywood filmmakers choose unique titles for their films that either match the plot line or are related to the film’s characters. Did you know that multiple films have often shared the same title? In some cases, the titles were exactly the same, with no changes even in the spelling. The good part was that these films had a different concept and genre. For example, one film titled Hera Pheri was made with Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna; while another is a classic comedy film featuring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal.
