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.
Dwayne had earlier thanked actor Varun Dhawan for his compliments for the film. “Watched #HobbsAndShaw. It’s great fun in the cinema. @TheRock really brings its. Loved the homage paid to the Samoan culture. The London chase sequence has to be the best (sic)” tweeted Varun.
The Rock expressed his gratitude in Samoan-Hawaiian, saying “Mahalo brother and glad you loved it. You’re the best @HobbsAndShaw.” Varun later took a screenshot of the Hollywood star’s response and shared it as an Instagram story. The caption read, “Childhood dreams come true.”
