However, many fans anticipated that the all-rounder has also worked in 'Pushpa 2: The Rule', that hit the theatres on December 5.
After three years of the success of its first part, 'The Rise', Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandhana starrer Pushpa is now back again with its second part and got a great response from the fans in the first week of its release. However, there was a scene in the movie, where an actor appeared, who looked just like Krunal Pandya at first. However, in reality, he was Tarak Ponnappa, who is an renowned actor in the South Indian film industry.
Who is Tarak Ponnappa?
Tarak Ponnappa is a renowned Indian actor who has worked in several Telugu and Kannada films. He made his debut as a lead actor in a Kannada film Ajaramara in 2017.

However, Tarak Ponnappa isn’t the only actor whom the fans compare with Krunal Pandya on the basis of looks. A large group of fans believe that Pandya resembles the popular Indian actor Ajay Devgn. Krunal Pandya has also accepted that his face resembles Ajay Devgn and also revealed he is his favourite actor.
