10 uncanny Bollywood coincidences that are truly surprising

Statue of Liberty and Eiffel Tower

Kalki Koechlin’s great-grandfather was the chief engineer in the construction of both, the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty. That's genius!

‘Agneepath’ and ‘Dostana’

Dharma Productions has produced two films 'Agneepath' and 'Dostana' with the same names twice. That's a very rare occurrence in the industry.

Anurag Basu

Once, director Anurag Basu imagined his father's death for a scene and the same night his father passed away. That sounds eerie right? Apparently he was having a tough time scripting a death scene for a movie. To conceptualize better, he visualized him and his father in the scene, which allowed him to feel more and write the scene more efficiently. But sadly, his father actually passed away on the same night.

Siddharth Roy Kapur – Real and reel life

Actress Vidya Balan tied the knot with businessman/producr Siddharth Roy Kapur in the year 2012 and in the movie 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects' Vidya Balan's on screen husband also has the name Siddharth Roy Kapur played by actor Farhan Akhtar. Although, Farhan's character in the movie was decided 5 years before Vidya married the real life Siddharth Roy Kapur.

Big B and SRK

The legendary Big B's bungalow was renamed from Mansa to Jalsa whereas Shah Rukh Khan's bungalow was renamed from Jannat to Mannat. The letters 'M' and 'J' seem to have found a place in the houses of the two stars. Apparently, Vaastu played a crucial role in the renaming of the two star bungalows.

R Rajkumar and Shahid Kapoor

Actor Raj Kummar Rao acted in a movie titled 'Shahid' in the year 2013, whereas Shahid Kapoor acted in a movie called 'R Rajkumar', a masala entertainer directed by Prabhu Deva that released in the same year 2013. This is pure coincidence.
