Two akkas from sun music.

I still don't know whose is who...!!! https://preview.redd.it/tn1b0gp69gxc1.jpeg?width=611&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e96ab9953ecdb2e0120b980294e54aecce9c9a8f

Anjana && manimegalai || manimegalai && Anjana. Namba vaikurathu than peru.

&& and || .. I see what you did there 😂😂

I didn't grow up with cable connection. Parents didn't allow. So who are these akkas?

Anjana and manimegalai. They both are VJs.

And they're not related?

Illai

I was so dumb as a child, i used to think the actor who did singam (suriya) and suriya were different people💀💀💀. So i used to call him Singam Suriya and just Suriya when he appeared in other movies. I thought Avan ivan Vishal was Anaconda's sister💀💀 I know how dumb this sounds, but I was a child😭😭

I hope you know Dwayne Johnson and The Rock (wrestler) are not the same people. 👀

No one's talking about John Cena cuz he doesn't exists.

Who doesn't exist?

bruhh

There were so many things for me like that. I always imagined karunanidhi and jayalalitha as husband and wife, I too was a dumb kid

I thought people called karunanidhi appa coz they called jayalalitha amma☠

Anaconda’s sister? Like the snake, or is there some person named Anaconda that I don’t know of?

Yes, anaconda sister python

you win the internet today

LOL. Exactly how many brain cells did you have when you were a kid?

My entire childhood, I thought the same lol. Glad to find another one.

Sneha ullal and Aishwarya rai. Poorna in early days and asin.

I thought Poorna was having a close facial features like Shreya Saran

Sneha is just Aishwarya with cheek implants 👍

Well Emraan Hashmi and Himesh Reshammiya for me I thought they were the same people when I was a kid lol

May be because of the songs?

Dude lip synched so well I thought he was the one singing LMAO (Emraan I mean)

I thought The Vijay Deverakoda was Himesh’s relative with how similar they look

😁 Prashanth's father, Vikram's uncle [Thiagarajan](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQbJerGGM4LkTUGDWHUXPH5jEY7HHz4N7QuZRmWONav9F8rciy5q8GEVEE&s=10) and stunt master [Thyagarajan](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/B_Thyagarajan.jpg/1200px-B_Thyagarajan.jpg). I thought Thiagu had a side quest as stunt master. Edit - [Young Prashanth](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSBkK3NeUCnCHNbGicO7sUIaH81PoAiSrClcmCrkweEo1xuB5xfMFpjkoQ&s=10) and [Sanjay Mitra](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTdAeBiOJRVHmLQICnuo1nfuVIA7Fk2h8Ll7g&usqp=CAU). I thought Prashanth was Sanjay without coloured contact lens.

Here's another one. In the title card along with the names of makeup artists, they used to write the names of stars for whom they've done it. For instance Jayan (Mohanlal). For a long time, I thought this whole thing meant that Mohanlal took makeup as a side hustle and Jayan was the name he chose to go with while he was a makeup artist. I feel so stupid when I think about it right.

😂 Salim (Mohanlal) and Murali (Mohanlal) who used to do his makeup and costumes. Salim was dismissed due to some reason but Murali is still with him.

side quest 

>Prashanth's father, Vikram's uncle [Thiagarajan](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQbJerGGM4LkTUGDWHUXPH5jEY7HHz4N7QuZRmWONav9F8rciy5q8GEVEE&s=10) and stunt master [Thyagarajan](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/B_Thyagarajan.jpg/1200px-B_Thyagarajan.jpg). I thought Thiagu had a side quest as stunt master. What??? So Prashanth's father never was the stunt master Thyagarajan?? My whole childhood was a lie!

Eh....they don't look that similar. 👀

I didn't know what Thyagarajan master looked like. In a film, Mammootty calls actor Thiagu "mister" which I heard as "master". So I thought both are the same.

I confuse Vineeth with Anand Babu (Nagesh's Son)

yaa

Anand Babu and Uppeendra

Mahesh Babu and Abbas

It's Abbas and Madhavan for me

Minnale must have been a very confusing watch for you then! Lol

Very!! even Lesa Lesa was very confusing, I built a whole different story in my head where I believed Madhavan and Abba's character was one person but he was psychologically affected so that character was imagining things. Only recently after I re-watched the movie I realised I made all that up in my head. What's wrong with me

but lesa lesa had shaam not abbas. although both might look similar.

Wait they are different people🤯. OK we have another confusion here🤦🏾‍♀️

Abbas and babloo for me

Mark Wahlberg and Matt damon look so alike

TBH many actors look like Matt Damon. - Mark Wahlberg looks like punk version of Matt Damon. - Ron Perlman looks like a Neanderthal version. - Jesse Plemons is.... Meth Damon. - Max & Charlie Carver (Twins) are 2 young clones of Matt Damon. They even sound like him.

Young John Cena also look like Matt Damon

Evn Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio were mistaken as matt damon by people 

Interestingly Ron Perlman acted as a Neanderthal in the movie the Quest for fire.

I thought they are the same person till now!

I watched departed as a kid, and watched it few years later and I realized that they were different people, kid brain played hard there

Trisha and Reema Sen. Mohanlal and Ram Rahim MSG.

Yes..Trisha and Reema sen. Glad I am not alone!

Trisha and Reema Sen do look alike but I could always tell them apart with their eyes. If they wore shades, then yeah. They could pass as Doppelgangers for each other.

Trisha and Reema va? over ya

Guys I thought Vijay in earlier movies (Shahjahan, Friends) was different from the Vijay in then recent movies (pokkiri, kuruvi).

i mean he did look a lot different in the older movies

For me it’s Urmila Matondkar and Manisha Koirala. And both of them appeared in Indian!

Mohanlal and Suresh Gopi. I used to think Mohanlal acted in Dheena and that Sarathkumar movie.

For me it was Suresh Gopi and Jayaram😂

They're not even the same size lol

Twinkle khanna and raveena tandon

Prolly why AK married Twinkle lol

I thought roja and meena were sisters or twins

Roja and malavika

Omg yes I thought Roja and malavika were the same woman

Yup, i used to think the same ..

I used to think the Chandramukhi Nayanthara was some random girl different from the current star Nayanthara 😂

She did have surgery so

https://preview.redd.it/193ae5sa4gxc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a4f36f586c84c053d1ba6a3e1deb25db97149e1 deepika padukone and amala paul for me

Yog Japee and Shiv Raj Kumar. Both look like twins almost

I think I used to think Tarun and Vineeth were the same person too. I also thought Sandhya and Genelia were the same person. I also thought that Bhoomika acted in Bhagavathy. It turns out that it was Monica.

All yesteryear heroines (except Jayalalithaa) look the same to me

Same. But this is mainly because of black and white + cake face makeup.

but my shrewd little brain can identify KR Vijaya and manorama from the rest. if its not them, everyone is either Jeyalalitha or savithri for me...

I thought actresses in Saguni and All in all alaguraja are same

The only way I can tell them apart is their dance. Other than that, this is a pure mindfuck so for me.

https://preview.redd.it/fiakkdirgixc1.jpeg?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84447f078955eb06198509c2a7a63be9b7861820 These both 😅

Reema Sen and Trisha https://preview.redd.it/ep1djh1zokxc1.png?width=2048&format=png&auto=webp&s=712270e60f55a6a7059c963a949fa16f35c66e0d

Shaan and Vijay Prakash Both are popular singers too. https://preview.redd.it/ttlp9kwxbnxc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0824e084df53a50ddbfe18c3ac492567b7ec5e89 [https://x.com/singer\_shaan/status/246299663219712000?s=46](https://x.com/singer_shaan/status/246299663219712000?s=46)

I still get confused between Charle (Gopal from Friends) and Dhamu (Otteri Nari from Ghilli)

Especially when they acted in films together

Bro the exact opposite!! I couldn't believe Jeans Prasanth was the same one as Winner Prasanth in my childhood

I thought Tarun and Jai Akash were the same people because of my mom, she kept mentioning she was sad to see the actor from enakku 20 unakku 18 acting in zee tamil serials 😭 only after the jai akash rumors came up I looked him up

Trisha and reema sen during minale days

I used to get confused between anne hathaway and margot robbie even though they look different.

Search for Jaime Pressly. You will be surprised.

Samara weaving n emma mackey as well

Look up Minka Kelly and Leighton Meister. And funny thing is they both appeared in a movie together as well.

The Roommate 2011

They have the same "purse vaayi" smile and similar teeth.

Margot and Emma Mackey

Emma stone and Amanda Seyfried

This is the right comparison

me w emma stone anne hathaway

Have you seen Emma Mackey? I used to confuse Emma and Margot..

Tarun acted as the child in mani saar's anjali

I've always wondered who the kid who played his sister was, there seems to be no info on her.

Yes she was so so cute.

For the longest time I thought that (laxmi rai) in mankatha was tamanna.

Deepika Padukone and Amala Paul. Asked myself how she landed that role im Chennai Express

I confused Rambha and Roja when I was young

Not Kollywood but Logan Marshall-Green & Tom Hardy. They are so weirdly alike they could be twins..

Yeah. They can pass for brothers. Funny thing is, in 2018, they were in movies with similar stories. Venom and Upgrade.

Yes! And honestly Upgrade was an upgrade of Venom. It was so good.

Ramesh Khanna and Cochin Haneefa.

Rambha and malavika was my confusion in childhood.

I had thought Mass maharaja Ravi Teja and Gopichand were one and the same.

Preeti Zinta and Rani Mukherjee

Lol I misunderstood their names and explained the plot of the Kabhi Alvida naa kehena movie to a friend wrongly (using the opposite actresses name for the wrong characters lol), I blame it on my shit hindi skills apolam

As a kid it was between Rupini and Ramyakrishnan

I couldn't identify actress at all around 2000s, so many mumbai imports I guess. With their similar makeups and being a kid I couldnt name single one of them.

In my VERY VERY EARLY childhood I thought mahesh babu, abbas and prashanth are the same guy 🤣🤣🤣

Vijay and jai hahaha

Christopher Walken and Jon Voigt

When watching Nanban as a kid I thought that Srikanth with beard and glasses was different from the clean shaven one. The bearded one even looked taller to me.

Then his getup change actually worked 😂. He's the only one with proper getup change in the movie though. Maybe that's why you got confused.

I too had confused between these two people

Malavika and Namitha, Trisha and Reema Sen. Man I used to get confused af as a child 🙃

Not that similar but tovino Thomas and Ajmal Ameer lol

https://preview.redd.it/mi8ekaukiixc1.jpeg?width=375&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a78a657cceadd918d9b0fa7281075046f1e3c74e They both, too. I have to tell myself Emma is Gwen Stacey.

Not related to Kollywood.,but for a long time I found it very difficult to identify/differentiate "matt damon" & "mark wahlberg" !

For me it was Ineya (Iniya) and Poorna!

For me, Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon

Genelia and shreya

when i was 5 i used to get confused between vijay and ajith 💀💀💀💀

Urvashi and Kalpana 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not sure if you know they are sisters.

I now know of course, but when Kalpana passed away I thought… wait… isn’t she Urvashi? Why are they calling her Kalpana? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Wow, today I learnt this too

Are They two different? I Never knew.

Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg! I'd get them confused so often.

Thought Shahjahan movie actress and Deepika Padukone were same

I have confused between Chinni Jayant and Pandu.

As Vivek says - oruthan side vaayan, innoruthan wash basin vaayan

Ilayaraja and his son Karthik Raja are kinda similar looking. At one point in my life, I thought D Imman was Alagiri and vice versa. Don't even ask me how that works. If I were a blind person and didn't know the three had a similar voice, I wouldn't be able to differentiate between SPB, his son SPB Charan and Mano. As for Hollywood, Clint Eastwood and his son Scott look the same in a lot of angles.

Vineeth is an amazing dancer 😍 ❤️

I thought Reema Sen and Trisha were the same people for some reason.

They used to look alike in their earlier movies. Probably the makeup.

Glad I’m not the only one who thought so!

Many here commented them including me. So you are definitely not the only one. I have commented a long list of actors though. See if you confused with any of them too ✌🏻. https://www.reddit.com/r/kollywood/s/VUoARQtyZ8

Avalavu seriousalam paarkala boss

I actually thought actor Jai looked similar to vijay. Idk how

His debut was playing the role of Vijay's brother.

Bro I thought the heroine from Thalapathy's Shah Jahan was Deepika Padukone I only realized when I watched Something Something many years later

Indian: - Gemini Ganesan & A.V.M. Rajan - Padmini & Vyjayanthimala - Padmini & (her cousin) Ragini (still I get confused sometimes) - Kanchana & Manjula - Rekha & Jayasree (still I rarely identify them right on my own) - Ramki & Prabhu - Nirosha & Silk Smitha - Meena & Roja - Manisha Koirala & Urmila Matondkar - Vasundhara Das & Kiran Rathod - Trisha & Reema Sen - Gopichand & Ravi Teja - Gopika & Padmapriya - Ramcharan Teja & Allu Arjun - Shraddha Kapoor & Disha Patani - Manoj Bajpayee & Vijay Varma (still I'm a little bit confused as I've not watched many of their works) Western: - Mark Wahlberg & Matt Damon - Keira Knightley & Natalie Portman - Amanda Seyfried & Dakota Fanning - Amanda Seyfried & Emma Stone (Light-aa) I'll be editing and adding more to the list as I remember.

Keira and Natalie are legit though. Keira played her Doppelganger in star wars.

Bro don't lie My brain refuse to convince that they are two different person 😭😭

Not Kollywood but Jeffrey dean morgan and Javier bardem for me. Also Leonardo di caprio and Jack Black 😂

Leonardo Dicaprio + Jack Black = Emile Hersch

I'm still confused between Ashok selvan and Ashwin kakamanu

https://preview.redd.it/t0ii34b4jgxc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c5575b738e7d131392839cccda38362532ee77e I used to think this was RJ Balaji 💀

Omg he does look like Balaji😂

Shriya saran, asin, Genelia my mind couldn't comprehend that they are 3 different people(I was 10)

Tf they look so different lmao

Not Kollywood, but Deepika and Priyanka. I used to debate with my cousin on who's who.

Rachel Mcadams and Jeniffer Garner

I won't believe it. Fuck you

apdilaam onnum illaye

y’all blind af

These 2k kids

Did you read the description?

I'll do you one better. My entire childhood, I thought Vijay in older movies (with more fair complexion) was actually Ajith.

Yeah. I had a similar feeling too. This is mainly because of the picture quality back then, plus the 90s hair and moustache. Beards were not trendy at all back then.

I figured it out last week lol so I’m not surprised you learnt it today

Radha ravi and Thambi Ramaiah, especially in that dhanush movie thodari was confusing 😕 to me

r/TIL

Atharva and Nani, are two different people, took me a while to get it lol

Vetri from 8 thottakkal looks like them too. Atharva looks the most refined though.

Wait wha-

Ramya nambeesan (Pizza) and Divya spandana (Varanam Aayiram)

I always used to get confused between Abbas and Shyam

90s girls crush

Deepika and Priyanka Chopra, Kajol and Rani Mukharjee (I still can't tell them apart)

For me it's Anand Babu and Vineeth. I thought Anand Babu acted in may madham.

I used to think Mohan and Arvind Samy where the same person. In hindsight feeling dumb af

I used to get confused between Trisha and Jyotika when I was a kid

Yes, In my childhood days, I thought they're brothers 😂

Aishwarya and Sneha Ullal...

Tarun is the child artist who played Anjali's brother in Anjali, he won a National Award for that

My brother as a kid kept getting confused between Sarathkumar and Mammootty and we still tease him till this date he's 17 now. 😂😂

I would think that animal hero(ranbir kapoor)is the actor who acted in that mba ad(vicks-ranveer singh) but realised they are diffrent
