The first-ever Mad Max movie to release was in 1979. Following which, there were sequels in 1981, and 1985. However, after Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985), makers reportedly felt the movie would never have another sequel until 1998 when George Miller, the auteur of Mad Max franchise, started scripting the fourth installment in the Mad Max franchise. Then in 2015, the fourth film of the franchise titled Max Mad: Fury Road released.

Anushka Sharma as Imperator Furiosa

Charlize Theron, who played the role of Imperator Furiosa in the fourth installment of Mad Max franchise was reportedly the first choice of the makers. In an old interview, it was revealed that initially, the makers were planning to give Theron a mud mask and a bizarre haircut, however, due to some reason the look was transformed into short hair. When it comes to experimenting with looks, Anushka Sharma is no new to it. From a no-makeup look in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi to an ultra-glam girl in Badmaash Company, Anushka Sharma can pull off any look with ease. Although Anushka Sharma has never pulled off a high on action role before in her career, however, one is sure with her agile body, she can easily perform stunts. So, it's safe to say that Anushka Sharma can essay the role of Max in the Bollywood remake of Mad Max: Fury Road
