Mollywood Retake: What If Shahrukh Khan's Main Hoon Na Is Remade In Malayalam?
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.
