Many roles are created with a certain vision in mind, and, with the right star attached, are launched into an everlasting hall of fame. Whether it&#8217;s the actor&#8217;s craft, the director&#8217;s skill, or a brilliant amalgam of both, certain roles call out to audiences in a way that we cannot explain.<\/p>\n<p>Well, what if those characters were played by Pakistani stars? We put on our thinking caps and came up with a list of seven gifted Pakistani actors who can nail seven memorable Indian cinema roles. Here&#8217;s how it goes:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kabir Singh &#8211; Gohar Rasheed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Gohar is an acting chameleon. Slowly but surely, he&#8217;s proven his acting mettle. Therefore, seeing him in an anti-heroic avatar would be an excellent challenge for him, and a much-needed treat for viewers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Devdas &#8211; Wahaj Ali<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.tribune.com.pk\/media\/images\/jaanejaanreviewnetflix-(1)-(1)1695978400-0\/jaanejaanreviewnetflix-(1)-(1)1695978400-0.png\" style=\"height:undefinedpx; width:undefinedpx\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Wahaj is an actor who can embody mournful yearning with excellence. Throw in shades of grey and hints of aggression and we have a winning combination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don &#8211; Humayun Saeed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.tribune.com.pk\/media\/images\/goharkabir-(1)1695978249-5\/goharkabir-(1)1695978249-5.png\" style=\"height:undefinedpx; width:undefinedpx\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Humayun is our Shah Rukh Khan. The persona, the charm, the wit, the vibes &#8211; all of that comes naturally to our local superstar.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Geet &#8211; Hania Aamir<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.tribune.com.pk\/media\/images\/goharkabir-(2)1695978248-4\/goharkabir-(2)1695978248-4.png\" style=\"height:undefinedpx; width:undefinedpx\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If there was ever a role created solely for Hania, it would be Geet from <em>Jab We Met<\/em>. She could easily essay the bubbly, quirky role that calls for a sombre reality check in the second half. A perfect fit, if we&#8217;re being honest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tara Singh &#8211; Hamza Ali Abbasi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.tribune.com.pk\/media\/images\/goharkabir-(3)1695978248-3\/goharkabir-(3)1695978248-3.png\" style=\"height:undefinedpx; width:undefinedpx\"\/><\/p>\n<p>While there&#8217;s no way to visually draw a parallel, Hamza carries a certain heat and passion for action that is inherent to the <em>Gadar <\/em>character. It could make for a promising crossover.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prem &#8211; Bilal Abbas Khan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.tribune.com.pk\/media\/images\/goharkabir-(4)1695978248-2\/goharkabir-(4)1695978248-2.png\" style=\"height:undefinedpx; width:undefinedpx\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The lovable, goofy, adorable Prem, made into a household staple by Salman Khan, would not be an easy weight to carry. However, if there&#8217;s any actor who can slip into the\u00a0<em>Hum Saath Saath Hain<\/em> role with ease owing to his boyish charms and impeccable skills, it&#8217;s Bilal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rani &#8211; Iqra Aziz<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.tribune.com.pk\/media\/images\/raniiqra1695978248-1\/raniiqra1695978248-1.png\" style=\"height:undefinedpx; width:undefinedpx\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Once again, this is a match made in heaven. Iqra has played the eccentrically lovable, girl-next-door numerous times and in a style true to the actor, she could add a little extra snap to the <em>Queen<\/em> character.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Are there any other roles that you think would be ideal for Pakistani stars?
