6. Eddie Morra (Limtless)
Eddie Morra is callous, dirty, boring and a plain failure. NZT-48 influenced Eddie Morra is the complete opposite – knowledgeable, confident, sharp and slickly sexy. Again, if we dial back in history, Roshan just owns the field of ultra-cool characters; it’s simply natural in him. Enacted by his “Hollywood counterpart” Bradley Cooper; Morra needs to be shown in three parts – the callous, the revitalised Morra and the Morra on the wrong side of NZT side effects. Roshan’s portrayal would do justice to both the role and the look.
For reference: Careless Karan Shergill in Farhan Akhtar‘s ‘Lakshya’ (2004) and Mr. A in Sanjay Gadhvi’s ‘Dhoom 2’ (2006), and the “corporate” Arjun Saluja in Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ (2011).
5. Wolverine (X-Men film series)
This is literally the dream casting for any Hrithik Roshan fan. Eternalised by Hugh Jackman in the ‘X-Men’ franchise, Wolverine, like Crowe’s Gladiator is the epitome of masculinity. Roshan has showcased his acting, looks and beefed up body in flicks like ‘Agneepath’ (2012) and the ‘Krrish’ films. While 20th Century Fox is frantically looking for a worthy replacement for the man with the cigar, how about tweak the character little bit and add some “Indian origin” to it, eh?
For reference: The bearded heated hunk Vijay Deenanath Chauhan in Karan Malhotra’s ‘Agneepath’ (2012) and the Indian Superhero in Rakesh Roshan’s ‘Krrish’ franchise.
4. Thor (MCU)
The second superhero on this list, Hrithik Roshan might be the only Bollywood star fit so effortlessly for this role. Thor, the Norse mythological God in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was brought to the big screen by Australian superstar Chris Hemsworth. Slipping on the role of this character requires certain distinctive features- an unimaginable physique, mastering the “royal” tongue and a marvellous bearded appearance. Roshan has done it all.
For reference: The royal Akbar in Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ (2008).
3. Ren McCormack (Footloose)
The question is; does Hrithik Roshan know how to dance?
Kevin Bacon rocked the dance floor and our hearts in his 1984 dance flick ‘Footloose’. Roshan has been “the guy” when it comes for dance sequences. Several of India’s top dancers and choreographers with his quick transitional moves, smooth sequences and command over a variety of genres. No matter which movie he stars in, there is always a dance sequence to which audience shouts “galore!” ‘Footloose’ sounds just perfect for the best dancer in Bollywood.
For Reference: Rohit/Raj Chopra in Rakesh Roshan’s ‘Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai’ (2000)
2. Danny Ocean (Ocean’s trilogy)
One of the most stylish, cool and slick characters were brought to the screen by the equally sophisticated George Clooney in the ‘Ocean’s’ trilogy. He is intelligent, creative, affable, and highly organized. Adding to his astuteness, he is also an experienced gambler, con artist, and thief. As far as the appearance is concerned, he is dapper and fashionable. Is there anyone who can take up Ocean as perfectly as Roshan himself?
For reference: The natural dapper Roshan himself.
1. James Bond (James Bond film series)
Does anyone have any doubt in this choice?
Hrithik Roshan has been one actor whose name is continually brought up as an Indian version of the “most famous spy in the world”. And why not, Roshan has everything this MI6 agent stands for. He has the panache, the stance, the attitude and the list goes on.
For reference: Like Danny Ocean, the natural Roshan himself
