A struggling actor and a dangerous game

© Half Stop Down

A struggling actor discovers an unusual way to survive: taking on other people’s identities for money. In other words, becoming a professional impostor.

But what starts as a clever con soon spirals into a dangerous game. That’s when he realizes that pretending to be real people might be far more complicated than performing on stage.

That’s the premise of Aynabaji, a gripping crime thriller also known as Mirror Game. The film became such a success that it later spawned an official television series adaptation and even received an Indian remake.
