Dabangg is one of the most popular and successful franchises of Bollywood. It has had three instalments so far. The plot of the movies is based on how a small-town cop, Chulbul Pandey fights crime and corruption. In each movie, he has to face a new villain who threatens to disrupt justice. The lead role is played by Salman Khan while Sonakshi Sinha features as his wife, Rajjo and Arbaz Khan as his brother, Makhanchand.

Recently, the makers of the franchise are in talks of turning Dabangg into an animated series. On that note, here’s a Hollywood cast that would be perfect if the movies get remade in English:

Chulbul Pandey- Chris Hemsworth

Who would be better to play the role of Chulbul’s brother, Makhanchand Pandey than Liam Hemsworth if Chris plays Chulbul? Makhanchand acts as an antagonist to his older brother in the first movie but switches sides by the end of the movie.

Many would remember the chemistry between Steve Martin and Diane Keaton in the movies, Father of the Bride and Father of the Bride II. Thus, it only seems fit that Keaton would play the Naini Devi to Martin’s Prajapati.
