Alex said
that Professor’s role can be played by Tamil actor Vijay and/or Ayushmann
Khurrana. He goes on to add that Ajith Kumar would fit the bill as Bogota and
Shah Rukh Khan would be perfect as Berlin.

Further,
Alex picks Ranveer Singh and Mahesh Babu as Denver and Tamayo respectively, and
Suriya as Suarez.

Not just
this, the director also attributes some qualities of his ‘Money Heist’
characters to the Indian actors he picks. For instance, Alex says Vijay looks
‘intelligent’ like the Professor, and SRK looks ‘handsome’ just like Berlin.

Ever since
Netflix announced the fifth and final season of the series, fans have been
keeping a close tab on everything happening on the sets of the crime-drama.
