Following the success of Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor has bagged the plum role of Nintendo's world-famous videogame hero Mario in the upcoming Super Mario Bros movie. “What can I say? He's a perfect fit! That moustache! Those cheeks! The ability to perform digitally enhanced stunts! The love of mushrooms. . er . .scratch the last one.”, said Sankalesh Jimmy, the casting director for the film. “I'm delighted to be playing a plumber, many years after playing a mechanic in Laadla almost fifteen years ago.” said a nostalgic Kapoor. “After all, Indian actors are old hands at playing plumbers, mechanics, carpenters and drivers who can perform acrobatic leaps wearing gaudy clothes, and defeat hundreds of weird bad guys in order to finally get the girl!”, he quipped. He was also reportedly working very hard to get the pronunciation exactly right for phrases such as “Koopa Troopa”, “Petey Piranha”, and “Itsa meeeee! Maaarioh!”.
In related news, a new film about India's new ball bowlers will apparently feature Zayed Khan as Ishant Sharma and Irrfan Khan as Mohinder Amarnath (Whaaaat??!! Of course Jimmy Pa was a new ball bowler. Look it up.)
