On Tuesday, while the entire country was busy swooning over Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan after watching the teaser trailer for their upcoming film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, comedian Sapan Verma made an observation no one else did.
The posters for his films Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani (2013), Tamasha (2015) and now Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016) look strikingly similar.
