Akshay Kumar might have fought with a fake Undertaker in the 1995 movie ‘Khiladiyon ka Khiladi’, but that is not the only Bollywood – WWE connection. Former WWE stars like the Great Khali and Nathan Jones have appeared in Bollywood movies.
Can WWE characters perform as villains in Bollywood movies? This list takes a look at the five best WWE performers who could take Bollywood by storm in a negative role.
5. The Miz
The Miz is loud, obnoxious .. and talented too. No, I am not talking about his mediocre acting skills, but his improved ability in the ring. However, Mike Mizanin can walk into any Bollywood movie playing the role of an arrogant brat.
The best role for Miz will obviously be that of a high-class college kid who bullies others and shows off his wealth.
I would really love to see him getting beaten up by Siddharth Malhotra or Varun Dhawan in a college fight.
4. The Undertaker
Bollywood has always had a penchant for the supernatural and the occult. The Undertaker fits the bill to play the villain in a Bollywood movie about the undead.
Just think about his Ministry of Darkness times and he would be a shoo-in for any of those famous roles played by Amrish Puri in multiple Bollywood movies. I am not sure who can play the hero, though.
3. Paul Heyman
Who better than Paul Heyman to annoy people? Heyman would be a perfect fit for a Bollywood movie based on corporate life.
He would be the non-scrupulous boss who would do anything to get ahead – it would be a great payoff to see him get out maneuvered by a shrewd Bollywood hero.
I wouldn’t know if anybody can play Lesnar, though.
2. Vince McMahon
The ultimate villain – the boss who gives his employees a hard time and tries to elicit sexual favours from his female subordinates. Vince has played the role of the immoral boss to perfection onscreen with numerous flings including the likes of Trish Stratus, Sable, Torrie Wilson and Candice Michelle.
Akshay Kumar could play his arch nemesis – a beer drinking, foul mouthed Andheri native who physically assaults the boss any time he chooses – I wonder what screen name he would choose!!
1. Rusev (and Lana)
Even though the trend has subsided as of late, Bollywood films still have the habit of portraying the villains as coming from Pakistan in order to generate cheap patriotic heat. Who else to play the role of the foreign villain than the man who has played on the same feelings for the citizens of the US of A – Rusev.
Rusev can be portrayed as the man that Russia sent in order to destroy India. Lana will act as his sexy sidekick who will invariably fall for the hero of the movie and die in the fight at the end of the movie in the arms of the hero – Oh,the travesty.
What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
