Hollywood has seen one of the finest villains of all time in the Harry Potter franchise with Lord Voldemort. Played by Ralph Fiennes and Christian Coulson, the character has become of the most fan favourites. As the franchise ended, the characters live on. But, interestingly, someone found parallels between Lord Voldemort with Indian TV show Shaktimaan’s villain Tamraj Kilvish, played by Surendra Pal, which is hilarious.
A Twitter user who goes by the name Sagarcasm shared a thread of frame by frame pictures from both Harry Potter movies and Shaktimaan as he found uncanny resemblances between them. From the backstory of Voldemort to their powers, everything falls into place which is hilarious, to be honest.
Check it out.

While Harry Potter ended with Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the film has had two prequels - Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them and Fantastic Beasts – The Crimes Of Grindelwald.
Meanwhile, coming back to Shaktimaan, the Mukesh Khanna starrer has returned to Television. It is being re-aired amid coronavirus lockdown.
