Movie posters are an integral part of the entrainment industry. They are often seen outside the cinema halls or on billboards. But have you ever noticed them being featured in movies on the silver screens? Interestingly, a user shared a Twitter thread with a list of Bollywood films that featured posters of other movies in the background. The first photo shows Om Puri’s changing the car tyre’ scene from the 1983 film, Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro which featured a poster of the 1981 film Shodh in the background. Other than that, the scene also has Uski Roti's (1969) poster.
An excerpt from the caption read: “A thread on Hindi films where you’d spot the poster of another Hindi film featuring a cast member.”
