Sherlock is one of the most popular English television series based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective series called Sherlock Holmes. However, this series is based in the modern 21st-century world where science and technology have advanced more than Doyle’s 19th century England. Sherlock Holmes and his loyal friend and associate Dr Watson are back once again to solve unusual cases coupling one’s eccentric nature and the other’s logical one together. If Sherlock is remade in Bollywood, here’s a list of actors who might be best for the roles.

Sherlock Holmes- Hrithik Roshan
