Paging mollpeartree!

[muckefuck]

Although we all four thoroughly enjoyed Les pêcheurs de perles last night (as did the rest of the audience, judging by how few left after the first intermission--right after Bizet shoots his wad on this one), it wasn't quite engaging enough to keep our minds from drifting a bit. Due to the fact that it's set in Ceylon (completely arbitrarily, as it turns out--the original choice was Mexico), two of us in particular couldn't resist a Bollywood revisioning. But without mollpeartree's encyclopaedic knowledge of Indian celebrities, I found the shadowcasting difficult: I barely know the A-list and the weak storyline makes this a B- or C-list property at best. So who would you cast if you wanted, say, Hrithik, Aiswarya, and Salman Khan, but had to hire your talent a rung or two lower? (I think we can stick with Jackie Shroff as Nourabad, as washed-up A-list lends a little gravitas without breaking the bank.)
