Here is a list of celebrities we would want to be a part of if there is a television remake of the Hollywood movie 'John Wick'. Read on to know more about this
John Wick is one of the most intense and high octane action films which has gathered a huge fan base. The movie franchise began with John Wick which is based on the titular hero, John Wick. The plot of the movie focuses on this retired hitman who tries to go back to a solitary life like a civilian.
However, he is forced to return to the world of crime after a group of Russian gangsters steal his car and murder the puppy gifted to him by his late wife. If this movie is to remade with an Indian telly cast, here are the actors who might be perfect for the roles.
John Wick- Ronit Roy
He is the titular hero, rather anti-hero who is known for his killer moves and being a top-notch assassin who has been given the nickname of ‘Baba Yaga’. Known for his powerful roles and rugged looks, Ronit Roy seems perfect to play this Keanu Reeves avatar in a tele remake.

Viggo Tarasov- Karan Singh Grover
He is the head of the Russian gang in New York and also runs some questionable business. He is aware of John Wick’s reputation and tries to steer clear of his way. After seeing Kraan Singh Grover’s performance as Mr Bajaj in Kasautii Zindagii Kay, he seems just the actor for this role.

Iosef Tarasov- Parth Samthaan
He is the foolish yet arrogant son of Viggo who steals John Wick’s car and kills his puppy all out of ego. Parth Samthaan might be perfect for the role of this brash Russian gangster.

Winston- Rajesh Khattar
He is the enigmatic owner of the Continental hotel which is a sanctum for the syndicate that John Wick works for. Although he may seem sort of irrelevant in the first film, the character’s importance to the plot becomes gradually revealed through the next two films. Rajesh Khattar, being a brilliant actor, might be just the person for this role.
