The Silence Of The Lambs is one of the most classic American horror-thrillers which has been adapted from a book of the same name by Thomas Harris. It had been adapted on screen by director Jonathan Demme and the movie received a number of nominations and awards that year.

The plot of The Silence of the Lambs is based on an FBI agent, Clarice Starling seeking help from a psychopath serial killer and former psychiatrist, Hannibal Lecter to arrest another serial killer who has been killing a lot of women. However, things turn awry when Lecter falls in love with Starling and the latter is dropped from the case. Still, in the end, she manages to save the Senator’s daughter who had been kidnapped by the serial killer. If this classic is remade in Bollywood, then these actors should be a part of it.
