Womens Day Special: Women we want to see in these male centric films

What if these movies starred completely unexpected actors?


There is a debate going on about how there are a lot of 'women centric' films being made in Bollywood these days. So, we at India Forums, decided to take this debate up by a few notches and list down a few movies that revolved completely around the male lead but could be remade with women in them.


Badlapur - Vidya Balan

Badlapur was an intense revenge drama and so was Kahaani. One similarity in both these films was that both Varun and Vidya wanted to avenge the deaths of their respective partners. Now would it not be interesting to see Vidya pull off an out and out Badlapur-style movie?


Rockstar - Deepika Padukone

Ranbir played an alcoholic singer in Rockstar and Deepika too pulled of a roll on similar lines in her movie Cocktail. Both these films put Ranbir and Deepika into a completely different league of actors. How would you guys feel about a role reversal? That is - Deepika playing an alcoholic (which she pulled off with ease) and singing to A.R. Rahman's music.


Dabbang - Kangana Ranaut

Who better than Revolver 'Kangana' Rani, to be considered if Chulbul Pandey was to be replaced in the Dabbang series? Kangana Ranaut has in the past, done some unconventional roles which she has successfully pulled off. Why not see Kangana next in a typical action-packed Salman Khan film?


Don - Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor was a part of the Don franchise, remember? Who would not? She rocked the golden slit dress in the 'Yeh Mera Dil' dance number. Even though Don was a remake, Kareena played the role of Kamini that Helen essayed in the original film. Now, imagine Kareena in King Khan's shoes. Would you like to see Kareena play the conniving female Don?


Dhoom 3 - Priyanka Chopra

Dhoom 3 reviews, we all know. How about we make Dhoom 3 again with Priyanka Chopra replacing the 'perfectionist' Aamir Khan? Piggy Chops' acting skills are very well known of (read Hollywood). To what heights could Priyanka take the film, if she got to play one of the baddies in the series? We are sure Priyanka has the capability to carry a complete film on her shoulders, what say readers?


Gunday - Alia Bhatt and Parineeti Chopra

No other male actor Jodi can beat the Ranveer Singh-Arjun Kapoor bromance in Gunday. But Alia Bhatt and Parineeti Chopra sure can pull off something on the same lines. With repeated instances where the pretty actresses have openly declared that there is no competition between them, these two could easily become the female 'Gunday' Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor of Bollywood. And what more, they could do a film like this too.


Munnabhai - Anushka Sharma

The Munnabhai series is synonymous with Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi as Munnabhai and Circuit respectively. If any of the Munnabhai films was ever remade, we would love to see Anushka Sharma as Munnabhai. She may not be as well built as our Sanju Baba, but she has a very rustic appeal and can easily pull of an "Aae Circuit, apun ko ek jaadu ki jhappi dena".

As for the wacky role of Circuit, we want you readers to suggest some faadu female actors that could fit the role of Arshad Warsi perfectly. After all we want a Jodi that could pull off dialogues like - Munna Bhai: Oye circuit, Bapu bole to Gandhi Ji kapde kyu nahi pehante the?
Circuit: Bhai bole toh bapu bhi us time ke Salmaan Khan the!!!

I liked this article a lot. Nice article on the occasion of women's day. Totally agree with all that was written. Don't mind the actresses doing don/dabang type roles at all.

This is something the filmmakers to think over. We already had Jai Gangajal BTW.
Also Gulaab Gang and Rani's Mardaani are other similar movies.
