One would expect his Indian fans to recommend some cult classic - which a lot of them did- but Federer also got introduced to a lot of Arbaaz Khan film titles. Fans for the longest time have called Arbaaz Khan a doppelganger of the tennis star and so, on Wednesday, some of them thought that it was perhaps important for Federer to know about the actor.
From Khan's debut film 'Daraar', to 'Hello Brother' to 'Soch'- fans replied to Federer's tweet with the film posters.
