what if Hrithik Roshan was Prince instead of Jake?

I liked this film than any other big screen video game film, Jake was good but I'd expected better because Jake didn't quite fit that much. So the perfect match tbh had to be Hrithik, why? Because he's of average height (5'10) and is athletic not muscle bounded as stated in the game, not only that but Hrithik has coloured eyes, quite fair skinned and he's fluent in English. Now I know what your thinking, an Indian as the Prince, well in some of the games Prince is stated to be half Indian, John Abraham was considered (who is also half parsi, half India) but he is too muscle bounded and not that flexible compared to Hrithik.

So what do you think? Would it be better with or without Jake as Prince? Would Hrithik be a success in the west? Or a flop in the west due to Hrithik being an unknown?

Hrithik Roshan can't act.

Jake has startlingly blue eyes, exactly what colour were you looking for? The one picture I found where his eyes were reasonably visible, Hrithik's eyes looked like dishwater - not very colourful.... also, his bio lists him as 5'11.5"; Jake is a FULL 1/4 inch taller... so exactly is what is your argument again?

I think you answered your own question. I and most people have never even heard of that Hrintnink guy, so I doubt people in most English speaking countries would she'll out $9 for a ticket to see a guy they can't even pronounce or spell for that matter. I think Hramalamadingdong should stick to Bollywood where people probably know him.

I don't know who that guy is and I won't google him, but Jake did a great job. And he was a perfect fit by the way, perfectly captured captured the character in the game.

As an Indian, I do think he would be a good fit as far as the physical aspects are concerned. He certainly looks the part. He is a really good actor. But, I don't know if he would be able to pull off the subtle Persian intricacies. It would require great dedication and research on his part. I'd certainly be interested in watching it though.
