One of the popular trends on social media, which has especially seen a rise in the lockdown period, is netizens coming up with ‘Indian actors as Money Heist characters’ thread. And in case you didn’t already know, Money Heist is a popular Netflix series and is the English-dubbed version of the Spanish heist series La Casa De Papel.
Four Seasons of Money Heist are currently available on Netflix and the Indian audience like the rest of world is has become attached to the city-named characters of the show. Keeping with the trend, here we have imagined which of the Kollywood aka Tamil movie actors would suit best for the roles from the show.
1. The Professor - Vijay
Sergio aka The Professor is the master-mind behind a big plan, with an explosive brain yet subtle demeanour,. This is very similar to Thuppakki Jagdish and Joseph Kuruvila of Theri who bore similar characteristics, making Vijay our ultimate choice for this role.
2. Berlin - Ajith
3. Tokyo - Amala Paul
A true-blue tom-boy with over-flowing passion, Tokyo is the trouble-maker of this scene and given that Amala Paul has played such a character before, we think she is the perfect fit for this.
4. Nairobi - Radhika Apte
More mature and emotional yet as stubborn as Tokyo, Nairobi doesn’t loose sight of her purpose neither does she let anyone mistreat her. Radhika Apte was not just characteristically but even physically close to this role.
5. Rio - Siddharth
A computer genius who is also a good looking, sensitive lover-boy – we believe Siddharth would suit this role to the T.
6. Denver - Bharath
Denver is that criminal who is ruthless yet salt-of-the-earth, territorial yet would-go-to-any-lengths for his loved ones, has fun yet sticks to the plan and actor Bharath was on our collective minds to pull off such a role.
7. Stockholm - Tapsee
8. Inspector Raquel Murillo / Lisbon - Simran
9. Helsinki - Karthi
10. Palmero - Arvind Swamy
