Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Vidyut Jammwal
Fans have found an uncanny resemblance between Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister in the television show, Game Of Thrones, and Vidyut Jammwal. Seeing their images, they have been referring to the actors as brothers from other mothers. Is there anything similar beyond the sharp jawline?
On the work front, Vidyut Jammwal has been roped in for romantic action thriller Khuda Hafiz, which will be helmed by Faruk Kabir. The Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak's film is based on true incidents. It will be shot in Morocco and Kerala. The casting of the female lead is underway.
Scheduled to release in early 2020, the shooting for the project will start in July this year. The makers have also got on board global experts to choreograph the action sequences, said a statement.
