Why Hrithik Roshan is an ideal choice for Indian version of MCU's 'Thor'

Thor is one of Marvel Cinematic Universe's oldest and the most popular characters. While Chris Hemsworth is more than impressive in his performance as Asgard's descant Thor, one imagines if someone had to replace him as Thor, who could it be? While initially, makers reportedly wondered Daniel Craig could be a great choice, but then his movie commitments made way for Chris Hemsworth. Thor touted to be the god of Asgard, has been an integral part of the Marvel's Superhero Universe.
