Dwayne Johnson wants to replace Jason Statham with ‘Singh Brothers’
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson came across a hilarious video by two Canadian-Punjabi brothers and decided to hire them for Hobbs and Shaw’s sequel.
Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson has found Bollywood’s perfect answer to his latest movie, Hobbs and Shaw. The actor shared a video by ‘Singh Brothers’, who gave their own ‘Bollywood’ spin to the movie.
“Perfect. You’re hired. All my Hobbs’ co-stars can retire now Statham, Idris, Kev Hart, Ryan Reynolds.. the sequel is “Hobbs & The Singh Brother” U guys’ll have to fight over who it is,” Dwayne wrote in a tweet. The video begins with a scene from the actual film but soon cuts to a song from Salman Khan’s Dabangg 2. The Singh Brothers dance to Fevicol Se with trophies in their hands.
