    [MENTION=122561]Nine Tailed Fox[/MENTION] and I had been thinking of casting for an hypothetical badminton movie. Who would you want to star in them?

    My suggestions are
    King Khan as KINGdambi Srikanth
    Jet Li as Chen Long
    Channing Tatum as Viktor Axelsen
    Lisa Haydon as PV Sindhu

    If Tom Hanks actually stars as Li Yongbo in a Ron Howard directed English movie, he will make the Oscar Long list.
    If its a Clint Eastwood flick in Mandarin, there might be awards coming.

    Doesn't matter. Now-a-day, the film technology can make a short actor (like 5'5") look taller than a 5'10" girlfriend in the movie. Same can apply to Jet Li

    She will make a perfect WSX, but personally she wants to play SN. She has been pitching for it infact since 2012 and Saina has given the greenlight.
    Only thing required now is a willing producer, a decent director and dates from the lady who turned down Neal Moritz for Furious 7

    She would be a natural unlike PeeCee as Mary Kom since she played till 13-14 at a pretty serious level.

    BTW speaking of PeeCee, dear USA residents, what kind of reception is Quantico receiving??? Maybe [MENTION=1]kwun[/MENTION] or [MENTION=28840]indrg[/MENTION] can shed light. Also since she is supposedly playing a non Indian character, is she taking an USAn accent??? Her real accent is like Raj from TBBT.

    looks wise nice pick. But quality wise only Chuck Norris/John Wayne/Clint Eastwood (from his Dirty Harry days) can play a SuperDan

    Farhan Akhtar comes across as too serious in roles he plays and tweets and KS too cool. Although behind the camera he makes pretty cool stuff. All of them DCH, Lakshya, Don 1 n 2.
