Bunty Aur Babli is one of the most iconic movies of the 2000s. It was a huge hit at the time of its release and still seems to have a huge fan base. The story revolves around the lives of a boy and a girl from a small-town who lead the life of con artists. They become infamous as Bunty and Babli. However, their happy times are short-lived as they attract the attention of a police commissioner who is out to get them. The movie cast Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukerji in lead roles. On that note, if Bunty Aur Babli is made in Hollywood, these are the celebs who might be perfect for the cast.
