Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was known as the people’s President because he was a humble man who liked his actions to speak louder than his words. Even though he has bid goodbye to us, we will remember him for his progressive vision and scientific breakthroughs. And what better way to immortalize the legend than to bring him alive on the big screen, eh? We have drummed up a list of 5 Bollywood actors who can play the former Prez…read on:
Aamir Khan:
The perfectionist Khan can take the movie places, thanks to his commercial sale-ability. He is one of the biggest stars in Bollywood and that alone will bring the audiences to the screens. Add to that his enviable screen presence and acting skills, and you’ve a winning combo! It’s not every day that Aamir plays a legend on the screen. We definitely want him in a biopic soon. What say, people?
Nawazuddin Siddiqui:
It’s pretty clear to Bollywood addicts as well as die-hard masala movie fans that Nawaz is a gem of a performer. He can single-handedly turn a movie around. Didn’t you watch his classy performance as Chand Nawab in Bajrangi Bhaaijaan? We are pretty confident that he can pull off the Kalam biopic with élan. In fact, his resemblance to the great man is pretty on par too. We are drooling over a possible movie, starring Nawaz as Kalam. Aren’t you too, readers?
Kamal Haasan:
Apart from the obvious advantage of the Tamil language (Kalam being raised in Tamil Nadu), Kamal also has the mind-blowing ability to grasp the nuances of a character and render it on the screen. We know the lengths he can go to perfect a role (remember Indian, Chachi 420?), and it wouldn’t come as a surprise if he went in for extensive make-up and transformation to play Kalam. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? We are already excited! There might just be a Tamil movie in the making already. Watch out.
Irrfan Khan:
Another actor who can blend effortlessly into a character is Irrfan Khan. With his stoic personality and intelligent face, he could be perfect as the Missile Man. Moreover, we all know what a kickass performer he is. He might just give the movie his own spin, who knows?
Aadil Hussain:
His powerful acting skills have taken B-Town by storm. But he is still looking for that one big break that can turn his career into a super hit. Who knows! A Kalam biopic might just do that. His acting chops aside, he might go in for physical transformation as well. Sounds good to us. What about you guys?
Who do you think should play the legend onscreen? Let us know. NOW.
