Much Ado About Bollywood

Ever since I read Much Ado About Nothing, I've decide that this comedy will make the fucking best Bollywood flick (second only to Rangeela), and I've been thinking about the casting. So, I'm going with:
Ben & Bea
  • Aamir Khan & Urmilla Matondkar (for their awesome chemistry and banter in Rangeela)
  • Rahul Bose & Konkana Sen Sharma (my favorite jodi next to Munna & Mili <3)]
  • Kajol & Ajay Devgan (not too sure about this. Raju Chacha flopped but apparently U, Me Aur Hum did well? I think Kajol would make a great Beatrice at any rate)
  • Sanjay Suri & Juhi Chawla (cuz Jhankaar Beats is my second favorite movie!)
  • Vidya Balan & ? (love her — I just don't know who would complement her best)
  • Tabu & ?
  • Madhuri Dixit & ?
  • Rani Mukherji & Abhishek Bachchan (they look and work awesome together)

Claudio & Hero

  • Arjun Rampal & Dia Mirza (my first choice since 2003/4! They look so cute together in Deewanapan and Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.)
  • Jimmy Shergill & Kangana Ranaut (I wish Jimmy Shergill gets better roles in Hindi films — I don't watch Punjabi films — but here I am imagining him and Kangana not-so-great roles ...)
  • Ranbir Kapoor & ? (Katrina Kaif CANNOT act; maybe Sonakshi Sinha or Anushka Sharma? Not so sure about the screen chemistry though)
  • Shahid Kapoor & Amrita Rao (?)

Leonato

  • Naseeruddin Shah
  • Anupam Kher (he made a great Mr Bennett in Bride & Prejudice, so maybe he's a great dad-figure-type)

Don Pedro

  • Boman Irani (well, either Don Pedro or in the Dogberry-type role ...)

Don John

  • Saif Ali Khan (I think he's evil evil evil — and prolly a great upgrade from Keanu Reeves' Don John)
  • Hrithik Roshan

Dogberry + one or two others

  • Arshad Warsi
  • Sharman Joshi (he does great comedic stuff with both Arshad Warsi in the Golmaal franchise and Madhavan in 3 Idiots)
  • Madhavan
And who best to write/direct this than Rajkumar Hirani? Music by A. R. Rahman — of course.

I would watch the fuck out of this movie. Please get it made!
