Kapil Sharma: 5 Roles He should play

Emotional avatar: While we have often seen Kapil Sharma laughing his heart out in his show Comedy Nights With Kapil, we are yet to see him juggling other emotions such as grief, shock and anger. Since we have full confidence in his acting prowess, we would love to see him playing roles like Raj Kapoor's role in Mera Naam Joker, Rajesh Khanna in Anand or Hrithik Roshan in Guzaarish. It would be a challenge for Kapil to make us cry and that we believe will help him evolve as an actor. 

Action hero: Good with words and emotions, it is time we see Kapil Sharma as the angry, young man who can pack a punch and can combat goons single-handedly. We would love to see Kapil Sharma doing what Amitabh Bachchan did in Zanjeer and Agneepath or what Ajay Devgn did in Singham. Kapil will have to undergo a lot of training to do but it will surely be a delight for all his fans. Wont you love to see Kapil flex his muscles? 

Superhero: Imagine Kapil Sharma as a superhero gifted with awesome supernatural powers with the aim to protect the world from the evil forces. Probably dressed in cape and a mask, we would love to see him as the ultimate hero who not only beats the bad guys and romances the damsels-in-distress but also jumps across the buildings and pull off some cool stunts. The mere thought of Kapil Sharma as the Batman or Spider-Man is unimaginable and hence is bound to create curiosity. The production house will also be able to cash in on this never-seen-before avatar of Kapil Sharma and the film is also sure to find favour with Kapil's younger fans. 

A sinister villain: Kapil Sharma is a gifted comedian who is blessed with a good sense of humour and the gift of the gab. His jokes and one-liners make us go ROFL. While playing a good, comic role would be easy for him, we would like to see him playing the role of a dark, ruthless villain. Someone who is evil, has a dark past and wants to conquer the world without any regard for humanity. It will be a huge challenge for him to break away from his image of a good and funny character and slip into the shoes of Ek Villain. What say? 

Quintessential lover-boy: While Kapil Sharma may not have Salman Khan’s body, Hrithik Roshan’s looks or Shah Rukh Khan’s charisma, we believe he is an extremely talented actor. We are convinced that Kapil can carry off any role with ease and it would be indeed cool to see him as the quintessential Bollywood lover-boy who woos the heroine in style, romances her around trees and wins her reluctant parents too. The novelty of it would surely draw the audience to theatres.
