Going by the trend of recreating Indian epics on celluloid, how about discussing a film based on Lord Krishna. Hypothetically speaking, if a film was to be made on Shri Krishna, which actor would you like to see essaying the Lord on-screen?

Let’s take a look at some of the prospective stars for the glorious role:
