Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
has
Johnny
Depp
in
the
lead
role.
The
series
of
the
film
was
started
in
2003
with
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean:
The
Curse
of
the
Black
Pearl,
which
received
positive
reviews
from
critics.
Post
the
success
of
its
first
installment,
the
makers
announced
the
trilogy
of
the
series
with
Dead
Man's
Chest,
At
World's
End
and
On
Stranger
Tides.
The
series
gave
the
audience
a
very
famous
character
of
Jack
Sparrow
played
by
Johnny
Depp,
which
has
created
an
immense
impact

Captain
Jack
Sparrow
is
a
fictional
character
in
the
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
film
series.
The
character
was
created
by
screenwriters
Ted
Elliott
and
Terry
Rossio
and
is
portrayed
by
Johnny
Depp.
Interestingly,
the
writers
of
Jack
Sparrow's
character
have
gone
ahead
to
reveal
that
Jack
Sparrow
has
been
inspired
by
the
shades
of
Lord
Krishna.
Lord
Krishna,
who
is
known
to
be
an
inspiration
for
many
because
of
his
sharpness
and
utmost
strength,
has
also
inspired
the
legendary
screenwriters
of
the
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
series.
Ted
Elliott,
one
of
the
screenwriters
for
Jack
Sparrow's
character,
shares,
"Jack
Sparrow's
character
in
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
is
one
of
the
most
integral
part
of
the
film.
The
characterization
of
Sparrow
is
based
on
Lord
Krishna
who
is
a
major
deity
in
Hinduism.
While
writing
the
character
sketch
of
Jack
Sparrow,
we
referred
to
the
description
of
Lord
Krishna,
various
shades
of
the
Almighty,
which
helped
us
a
lot
in
making
the
whole
character
of
Jack
Sparrow
into
existence".
In
the
films,
Sparrow
is
one
of
the
nine
pirate
lords
in
the
Brethren
Court,
the
Pirate
Lords
of
the
Seven
Seas.
He
can
be
treacherous
and
survives
mostly
by
using
wit
and
negotiation
rather
than
by
force.
Similarly,
Lord
Krishna
is
listed
as
the
57th
name
in
the
Vishnu
Sahasranama
who
defeated
his
enemies
with
his
wit
and
bravery.
The
revelations
have
sent
shock-waves
and
our
very
own
Bollywood
actress
Sai
Tamhankar
took
to
Twitter
by
saying
that
the
news
is
just
unbelievable.
She
said,
"Wow!
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
has
an
Indian
connection!!!
The
lea
character
Jack
Sparrow
is
actually
based
on
Krishna!
#JackSparrowIsKrishna
this
is
unbelievable."
