Mumbai: Akshay Kumar has apparently got an actor whom he can consider if he ever thinks of making a biopic on himself, netizens suggest so after an image of Padman actor's lookalike went viral on social media.
Maajid Mir, a Kashmiri native has amazed the social media users for his uncanny resemblance to Bollywood's hit-machine, Akshay. Mir took over the internet soon after a news channel journalist took to Twitter to share his picture.

From suggesting to cast Maajid in Akshay's biopic to noticing the height and extra wrinkles on doppelganger's face, tweeple have varied reactions to the latest viral pic on social media.
