A worldwide top-grosser. A sequel already confirmed and shooting's already underway. The Hangover is on a roll. The film releases this Friday and if we're guessing correctly, a Bollywood remake may soon be on the way. What's more we can predict a cast-lineup.

One can vouch that it's a made-for-Bollywood story, one that may be right up Anees Bazmee's alley (as a director/writer), with a cast that would be as mentioned below.

Hrithik Roshan as Bradley Cooper's Phil
Why:
Cooper's look in the film resembles Duggu's Kites look .
The character: Phil's a douche and that's not an on-screen image we've seen Duggu in. How's that for a challenge!
u00a0
Akshay Kumar as Ed Helms' Stu
Why:
Again the two share Akki's Welcome look and demeanour.
The character: Stu's a henpecked dentist whose girlfriend has him on a tight leash.

Separated at birth? Our pick (above) of who should feature in a B-Town remake and the original cast (below) that features in The Hangover

u00a0

John Abraham as Justin Bartha's character Doug
Why:
Character demands this character be spaced out for most of the film. John fits the bill perfectly.
The character: A groom who's due to wed in a couple of days. Married guys, you know the feeling!

Arshad Warsi as Zach Galifianakis's Andy
Why:
Warsi has already said he'd choose to play Zach's character if ever approached for a possible B-Town remake.
The character: Scruffy and podgy and be willing to carry a satchel (man-purse, anyone) everywhere and dress to draw guffaws to carry off Andy convincingly.

Kareena Kapoor as Heather Graham's Jade
Why:
She looks the part. Gets to play opposite Akki's character after Kambakkht Ishq.
The character: Character's a bit like Chameli. An escort in love with a simple guy.
u00a0
Rajpal Yadav as Ken Jeong's Mr Chow
Why:
Yadav has played a comic don so often he can do this with his eyes closed.
The character: Mr Chow is one especially violent sonofa''' who appears to have swallowed a can of jumping beans. And kept it down.s

Sanjay Dutt in a role originally played by Mike Tyson
Why:
Again, Dutt's played himself too often in films.
The character: A big-hearted guy with a short temper trailing and messing with three guys who have to return something that belongs to him. Been there.

About The Hangover
Doug is due to get married in two days. He and his grooms-men Andy, Phil and Stu set off on a trip to Vegas for his bachelor party. The night is a migraine-inducing blur. They lose Doug. And the search continues through the film...
