There is no doubt the resemblance is uncanny.
A new Twitter thread has suggested which Bollywood star should star as which Money Heist character and the suggestions are certainly interesting.
Money Heist is a popular Spanish Netflix series which is currently in its fourth season.
Ever since its release, fans of the show have found new obsessions from quizzes, discussions, tweets and more about a certain ‘Professor’ and his aim to carry out a heist. This is none other than the popular Professor from the hit show.
Several theories and character analysis have been made on social media concerning the show.
However, there is one thread in particular which has garnered a lot of interest and that is related to which Bollywood actor or actress would be best suited to Money Heist.
If the show was recreated in Bollywood then there is a host of celebrities which could be cast.
Courtesy of Twitter user Sahil Bhalerao, the series of tweets provides a picture of the actors and actresses which would best suit the roles from the Netflix series.
Starting with the genius mastermind behind the heist is the Professor. And who better to play the role than the ‘Don’ of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan.
Sharing a picture collage of both the Professor and Shah Rukh Khan, there is no doubt the resemblance is uncanny. Therefore, it is only right that King Khan should take charge of the lead role.

Up next, we have the Professor’s love interest and tough and feisty Raquel. To pull the role off well we need an actress who is strong and versatile and who better than Kareena Kapoor Khan.
Her strong screen presence and amazing acting skills make Kareena the perfect actress to play the lead role of Raquel.
