In recent times, Tamil cinema writers and directors of web series are highly influenced by the gripping stories of series and movies from around the world. Those who are crazy about series and movies could sniff the resemblance of other series in our very own movies. Needless to say, the idea is mostly welcomed by the viewers who are thrilled to place Bollywood actors and actresses in the famous characters from popular series.

One such is Money Heist (La casa de Papel). The Spanish series created by Álex Pina is a very popular show on Netflix with an 8.5 IMDb rating. The story is simple-a heist inside a famous and highly guarded mint. A plotline with unimaginable twists, the happenings inside the mint and a meticulous plan and execution of the operation will leave you in awe. The winning streak of the show is the characters, how they evolve and bind together to create a highly entertaining watch. We came up with a thought on the remake of the binge-worthy show and immediately we jumped to the characters and Bollywood actors and actresses who would be a perfect fit for each one. Here goes the list...

Ángel Rubio – Prabhu

A sincere police officer who is head over heels in love with his partner Raquel is a prominent character in the show. Who would be a perfect fit than Prabhu especially after his role as a cop in various Tamil movies like Billa?

Helsinki – Karthi

A former soldier and a man who loves his brother dearly! This character surely occupies a place in our hearts for the unconditional love for his brother. We think that our very own Karthi would be a match for this role, who is fit to play both emotional and a rugged character.

Mónica Gaztambide – Andrea

A dedicated civil worker falls for a robber! The sweet and innocent Monica who is pregnant eventually finds herself falling in love with Denver. Andrea, who could pull the transformation of this character, is the right fit.

Moscow – Aadukalam Naren

Father of Denver, a calculated man, and a former robber. The right man for this enigmatic role is Aadukalam Naren, who himself has played memorable father roles in many Tamil movies.

Rio – Dhanush

A playful and innocent robber, but a very talented hacker. Whoever plays this role needs some charm and funny enthusiasm. We believe that Dhanush who is considered a boy next door is an extraordinary fit.

Denver – Jayam Ravi

A young robber with a unique laugh, who falls in love with Monica within few hours of the heist. He would do anything in his power for his love. Jayam Ravi who stole Tamil audience’s heart with many romcoms and action thrillers is the first person comes to our mind when we picture Denver.

Nairobi – Varalakshmi

A daring yet dashing Nairobi who is an expert in forgery. Though she looks tough she has immense love for her long lost child. We cannot think of any better person other than Varalakshmi who has played tough characters and a mother with blind love in Tamil movies.

Arturo Roman – Prakash Raj

A typical boss of the mint who has an affair with Monica. Arturo is someone who is a mix of evil and good, whose stupidity lands other hostages in deep trouble. Prakash Raj with his extraordinary acting could pull the character of evilness and stupidity.

Tokyo – Trisha

One the female protagonist of the story and the narrator of the story. The petite robber with a witty brain and sharp tongue seems to take everything in control during the heist and the only one who doesn’t fear Berlin. Trisha, an actress who could pull beauty with brain character is our choice.

Berlin – Arjun

The cunning, self-centered and pervert robber who intimidates the hostages to a great extent. He suffers from a deadly disease and acts the boss to everyone inside the mint. Arjun and his performance as Villian gave us the thought of placing him for the role of Berlin.

Raquel Murillo – Nayanthara

The gorgeous and tough cop who is in charge of the investigation of the heist. A desperate mother who later falls for the professor. Who could best fit the role other than Nayanthara who played the same kind of role in Imaika Nodigal?

The Professor – Ajith

The most important character the show and the mastermind behind the heist. This man gets everything done and saves the group from getting caught many times. Ajith with his extraordinary acting and tendency to switch from innocent to evil is the man for the job!

Soon, we hope that a talented story writer and a director would consider remaking this series which would make you remain in the edge of the seat. The series is made in such a way that you cannot wait for the next episode. We would all love to see our own actors and actresses in such powerful roles. Kollywood’s top directors, we hope you read this!
