Every man, at some point in his life, wishes he could be James Bond. And with the news that Daniel Craig may well be out as 007, there are a whole bunch of actors from London to New Delhi wondering what they could bring to the role.

Could Hrithik Roshan become the Seventh James Bond?

Roshan’s star has been rising in recent years thank to critically acclaimed roles in You Don't Get Life a Second Time (2011), Kites (2010) and Luck by Chance (2009). His commercial appeal is growing, too.

The question for Roshan now is – what next?

Three reasons Hrithik Roshan would be good for the James Bond franchise

  2. No other performers could be nearly as cool and broodingly suave as Roshan.
  3. It would give Hrithik Roshan a chance to play a lover, as well as a fighter.
