The role of Raj in the film Khiladi is that of a hunky man who fights with a bunch of goons all on his own. Apart from being a well-built superstar, he’s also loved by many for his muscular strength as well as his style quotient. Raj is a very good friend as well as a soft-hearted person. Captain America actor Chris Evans would do a great job as Raj in the film. The Marvel movie is proof that he is great at action-packed sequences, while his film Knives Out is proof that Chris Evans has a great sense of fashion as well.

The role of Chris Evans’ love interest would most definitely go to Margot Robbie. Margot has portrayed exceptional acting skills in her film I Tonya. Neelam Chaudhary apart from being a soft-hearted girl is also a gutsy as well as a fearless woman. She loves people unconditionally, especially those who are close to her. Margot Robbie’s role as Harley Quinn is proof of how well she can play the role of a gutsy woman. However, from her role in the movie The Wolf of Wall Street, it can be seen how fearless and outspoken she can be.

Boney- Marlon Wayans

Marlon Wayans’ Netflix show Marlon is proof of how easy going and hilarious he can be. Bonnie’s character in Khiladi apart from being comic is also that of a great friend. Bonnie is gutsy, however, he isn’t as powerful as Raj. Marlon Wayans would not only do justice to the role as a comic sensation, but his stellar acting sense would also help him play the character with the utmost ease.

The character of a sweet and kind girl, Sheetal from the movie Khiladi would very well suit Alexandra Daddario. Her role in the movie Baywatch proves just how sweet yet outspoken she is. Sheetal much like Alexandra’s character from Baywatch is exceptionally outspoken and fearless. Hence, Alexandra Daddario would carry the role of Sheetal very well.

Neelam's Uncle- Liam Neeson

Hollywood actor Liam Neeson played the action-packed role in the movie taken with utmost conviction. The character he essayed in Schindler’s List was one of the most pivotal roles in his career. The character of Neelam’s uncle, who turns out to be the villain, in the end, would be played perfectly by Liam Neeson.
