Q to those ordinary mortals, who do not have an identical twin !! - Have you ever met a person looking exactly like you ??
Underpinning it all is the assurance that your looks are unique yet your illusion could go totally awry. In Tamil movies, often one hears this dialog that ‘there are 7 persons in the World who would have very similar looks !’.
Imagine this ! - you go to occupy a reserved seat, say in a Train, Plane, or hotel – but there is already one occupying it. You ask that person to move ! and when he turns, you are baffled that the person has the same face as yours ! ! A perfect duplicate of you, with your mother’s eyes, your father’s nose and that annoying mark on your body that is so noticeable and you wanted to hide or remove. Not a laughing matter though, as it could wreak serious repercussions. The body-double can do immeasurable harm in duplicating one in every aspect you’ve always meant to have removed.
We live on a planet of over seven billion people, so surely someone else is bound to have been born with your face? It’s a silly question with serious implications – and the answer is more complicated than you might think.
Siddharth Chiguluri finds about his doppelgängers Manjunath Hegde and Michael due to a website and arranges for a meeting of all 3 at Goa.

It later appears that Manjunath was actually an international firearms and possible terrorist.
A doppelganger is a biologically unrelated look-alike, or a double, of a living person. In fiction and mythology, a doppelgänger is often portrayed as a ghostly or paranormal phenomenon and usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck. Other traditions and stories equate a doppelgänger with an evil twin. In modern times, the term twin stranger is occasionally used.
