Ever since Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor announced his
foray into Indian Television with the remake of American TV Series ‘24’, I had thought about which
internationally acclaimed TV Shows could be remade in India and still strike a chord
with the small-screen viewers here.
I have shortlisted 5 TV Shows with probable lead
actors from Bollywood that should be remade for Indian audience:
(1) DEXTER- A police forensic expert who moonlights
as a serial killer of criminals, who he believes have escaped justice. When high-quality
content is executed ‘Dexterously’, it results in an
intense and gripping drama like this masterpiece. Probable Lead Actor: Saif Ali
Khan
(2) BREAKING BAD- The show follows the life of an
under-achieving chemistry genius and how a fatal diagnosis affects his morality
as he uses his skills by producing world’s highest quality crystal meth to
provide for his family. Probable Lead Actor: Irrfan Khan
(3) THE WALKING DEAD- It’s a horror series where a
police officer leads a group of survivors in a world overrun by zombies. It’s
high time Indian audience is exposed to a full-on Zombie experience after
getting a taste of it in Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Go Goa Gone’. Probable Lead Actor:
Hrithik Roshan
(4) HOUSE M.D. - Arguably one of the toughest roles
to play in television history, British actor Hugh Laurie did a fantastic job as
the witty and arrogant Dr.House in this TV Series where he solves medical
mysteries in a style that reminds us of another eccentric fictional character ‘Sherlock
Holmes’. Probable Lead Actor: Naseeruddin Shah
(5) HOMELAND- A Marine Sergeant returns home 8 years
after going ‘missing’ in Iraq and a female workaholic CIA Agent suspects he
might be plotting an attack against his own country. Events unfold at breakneck
speed in a one-of-its-kind terrorism-based TV Show. Probable Lead Actors: Kay
Kay Menon & Konkana Sen Sharma
