In an interview with a leading English daily, Shah Rukh Khan has revealed that he’s in the process of remaking the hit American TV series, Breaking Bad, as a Bollywood movie. Khan says that the TV audience wouldn’t be able to accept the drug and violence which is a central premise of the show.
Leaving nothing to speculation, when the Dilwale star was quizzed if he would take up the role of Walter White, the protagonist, he was prompt to say that “great films don’t work without me, darling”.
Shah Rukh Khan as Walter White is confirmed. But what about the rest of the star cast? We let our imagination race and given the film a working title of Bure Bhatke. We have also thought of best suited stars to make the adaptation a power-packed one.
Shah Rukh Khan as Walter White
Ranbir Kapoor as Jesse Pinkman
Tabu as Skyler White
Irrfan Khan as Gus Fring
Anupam Kher as Mike Ehrmentraut
Richa Chadha as Marie Schrader
Boman Irani as Hank Schrader
This is us thinking out loud. We hope Shah Rukh Khan and his production team are listening.
