Shahrukh Khan's Main Hoon Na was a big success at the box office. What if the film is remade in Malayalam? Who all would be the apt replacements? Check out this week's Mollywood retake to know more..
Shahrukh
Khan
starrer
Main
Hoon
Na,
which
released
in
the
year
2004,
marked
the
directorial
debut
of
choreographer
Farah
Khan.
The
film
was
a
runaway
hit
at
the
box
office
and
in
fact,
the
movie
had
a
magnificent
run
in
Kerala,
as
well.
Main
Hoon
Na
had
an
ensemble
star
cast
at
its
disposal
and
apart
from
Shahrukh
Khan,
the
movie
also
featured
actors
like
Suniel
Shetty,
Amrita
Rao,
Sushmita
Sen,
Zayed
Khan
etc.,
in
important
roles.
The
movie,
which
was
in
the
lines
of
a
perfect
entertainer
with
all
the
necessary
ingredients
added
to
it
in
the
right
proportions.
The
storyline
of
the
film
is
definitely
adaptable
to
an
industry
like
Mollywood,
but
of
course
with
some
necessary
changes.
Now,
what
if
the
idea
of
a
Malayalam
remake
of
Main
Hoon
Na
turns
out
to
be
true?
Who
will
be
the
perfect
replacements
for
the
lead
actors
of
the
movie?
In
this
week's
Mollywood
Retake
we
discuss
about
this
interesting
scenario.
Prithviraj
As
Major
Ram
Prasad
Sharma
Prithviraj
is
the
first
and
best
option
for
this
role
portrayed
by
Shahrukh
Khan
in
the
original.
The
actor
will
look
perfect
in
the
shoes
of
an
army
officer
and
he
can
also
easily
pull
off
the
college
sequences
in
his
own
style.
And
more
importantly,
Prithviraj
is
sure
to
excel
in
the
emotional
and
the
action
sequences.
Kalidas
Jayaram
As
Lucky
Lucky
aka
Laxman
is
the
step-brother
of
Ram
Prasad
Sharma.
The
role
portrayed
by
Zayed
Khan
in
the
original
will
be
an
apt
one
for
Kalidas
Jayaram,
in
the
Malayalam
version.
He
has
that
attitude
and
cool
looks
to
be
convincing
as
a
college
guy.
Mamtha
Mohandas
As
Chandni
Chandni,
who
is
a
college
lecturer
is
also
the
love
interest
of
the
protagonist
Ram
Prasad
Sharma.
It
was
Sushmita
Sen
who
made
this
character
a
memorable
one
in
the
Hindi
version.
Mamtha
Mohandas
is
the
apt
choice
for
her
replacement
and
the
on-screen
pair
of
Prithviraj
and
Mamtha
Mohandas
would
definitely
look
good.
Prayaga
Martin
As
Sanjana
Sanjana,
the
love
interest
of
Lucky,
is
one
of
the
pivotal
characters
of
the
movie.
If
a
Malayalam
version
of
the
movie
happens,
Prayaga
Martin
will
be
the
right
choice
for
this
character,
which
has
good
scope
for
performance
in
the
movie.
Amrita
Rao
had
portrayed
this
role
in
the
original.
Rahman
As
Raghavan
Raghavan,
who
is
the
main
antagonist
of
the
movie,
was
portrayed
by
Suniel
Shetty
in
the
original.
This
character
is
a
well-written
one
and
has
a
huge
scope
for
performance.
The
villain
character
has
his
own
identity
and
that
makes
it
a
different
one.
Well,
we
feel
that
Rahman
can
do
this
role
with
ease
and
he
will
surely
make
an
impact
with
this
role
that
has
grey
shades.
Revathi
As
Madhu
Sharma
Well,
we
definitely
can't
think
about
any
other
actress
for
this
role,
who
is
the
step-mother
of
the
protagonist.
Only
Revathi
can
do
this
role
which
was
performed
exceedingly
well
by
Kirron
Kher
in
the
original.
Siddique
As
Shekhar
Sharma
Naseeruddin
Shah
did
impress
one
and
all
with
his
appearance
as
Shekhar
Sharma,
father
of
Ram
Prasad
Sharma.
The
role
was
more
in
the
lines
of
an
extended
cameo
but
still,
plays
a
crucial
part
in
the
film.
Siddique
is
the
perfect
choice
for
this
role
and
he
has
that
ability
to
make
his
presence
felt
even
with
a
very
few
scenes.
Well,
if
such
a
project
materializes
with
the
likes
of
actors
like
Prithviraj,
Kalidas
Jayaram,
Mamtha
Mohandas,
Prayaga
Martin
etc.,
then
it
will
definitely
be
a
big
budget
venture.
But
the
recent
success
of
big
movies
prove
that
the
industry
and
its
films
have
the
market
and
the
ability
to
bring
back
the
revenue.
