Community Post: Fantasy Cast For Broadway"s "Aladdin"



1. Jafar – Amrish Puri



Amrish Puri, Bollywood’s ultimate villain as the power-hungry Grand Vizier of Agrabah…you know if he was alive. RIP.





2. The Sultan – Rishi Kapoor




The Sultan, frazzled and always jolly, exemplified by the amazing Rishi Kapoor.





3. Genie – Anupam Kher



As the therapist from Silver Linings Playbook, who wouldn’t want their wishes granted by this five time winner for the Best Performance in a Comedic Role.





4. Aladdin – Siddarth Malothra



Siddarth Malothra has been receiving some heat for his recent tantrums and anger management issues, but what else do you expect from the Prince of Thieves.





5. Jasmine – Nina Davuluri



For the only female lead, why not Miss America.





6. Raja – Richard Parker from Life of Pi



And as a bonus I recommend the Bengal tiger as Raja, who’s had more experience with the culture then the current cast.




And in case you missed it, South Asians have already been taking over Hollywood. Broadway, get on your game.
