Bollywood Avengers(Mumbai Mirror)

Hi guys!!! This was supposed to be my first post on Pinkvilla but somehow it got deleted. Avengers has been making some noise since it's come out & has even beaten Tezz at the box-office. The movie had wallops of action,humour,emotion,good acting & production design. All in all it was a spectacular superhero sandwich. Now after watching the film I started to wonder that this concept of bringing six superheroes in one film is a distinctly Bollywoodish spectacle. After all we love seeing our biggest stars dressed up in capes & masks & punching the bad guy left & right. So next day when a similar article written by Raja Sen came out in Mumbai Mirror,I realised I'm not the only one with this vision. And since Bollywood is known for blatantly ripping off Hollywood I decided to share this fun article with you'll,so that we can see our fave stars as superheroes in a possible Bollywood remake of Avengers.

Hrithik would be Thor, of course,” I said, getting the obvious name out of the way. Even as action-figures sprang joyously to life with a kaboom(!) in The Avengers last week, intermission conversation turned invariably toward impossible casting for a never-to-be remake. Several very different people I met — from the head honcho of one of the country’s biggest movie studios to a fellow film critic to a fetching girl in a Wonder Woman costume — keenly obsessed over a Bollywood Avengers list, an admittedly pointless yet wonderfully entertaining exercise. Probably because that list — and perhaps a Photoshopped poster thereof — is the closest we’ll get to envisioning our actors as actual superheroes and not just mediocre knockoffs.

And everybody nodded in automatic agreement to the Kites star as the Norse God. While the original 60s comics called for a more mature God of Thunder — Akshay Kumar would have looked good in a cloak and weatherbeaten armour — the current run is all about a longlocked youngster coming to grips with his otherwordly awesomeness. This Thor is a vainglorious upstart beginning to mature into his divine role, and that is one hammer Roshan can pick up without blinking.Captain America, by definition, is a misfit. In a team of braggards, he’s a no-nonsense man from a different era, an old-fashioned leader of men who snatches authority with swift decisiveness. Cap is an unflappably solid soldier who gets the job done, and for that very reason the man who should pick up the shield and take charge is Aamir Khan. Calm, collected and not likely to back down under any circumstances, that Bhuvan (/DJ/Sanju) fellow ought totally give this team their marching orders.

Instinct screams Salman when picturing a foil for The Hulk — especially since the mythos of the big bright green displeasure machine relies oh-so-heavily on shirts ripping off, of their own accord — but since smartmouthed Dr Bruce Banner is too mild to wear Aviators, it’d be good to get someone who can look at least somewhat intelligent. Abhishek Bachchan could step in, delivering zingers as drily as he does in cellphone commercials while letting the graphics wizards take care of all the Incredible bits.

Seeing how she filled out a bodysuit in Don, Priyanka Chopra would fit the part of superspy Black Widow, with someone cool but understated — Rana Dagubatti, perhaps? — as expert marksman Hawkeye. As for Samuel L Jackson’s Nick Fury, leader of the Avengers Initiative and the eyepatched man who puts the crew together, the credentials require a hero big enough to boss this gang around. Anil Kapoor, then. Cause who could bark orders to our superheroes more justifiably than Mr India? (Also, he’d totally rock the eyepatch.)Which brings us to that most contentious of decisions: who could be our Iron Man? Robert Downey Jr has been increasingly striking, making the role his own. It’s an impossible, great character: A power-hungry, arrogant and cocky billionaire eager to boast, womanise and turn his good side to the camera even when brilliantly tossing a nuke into the sky. It takes a special kind of screen-conquering charisma to pull that off, all the while throwing out one-liners like a bowling machine soaked in Red Bull. There is only one choice, really. Don that helmet, Shah Rukh. You know you want to.
