DECK THE HALLS

Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson join Tanzim Pardiwalla over a video call about their forthcoming Christmas film, Red One, possible Bollywood crossovers and their love for India

There's a lot of dancing, right? I'd like to dance,” says Chris Evans when asked if he would star in a Bollywood movie. “But I bet I’d look like a fool trying,” he adds. As I picture the Captain America actor unleashing a sherwani look upon his massive desi fanbase, Dwayne Johnson chimes in, assuring me that he indeed can shake a leg. Johnson goes on to muse over the idea of crossing over to Hindi cinema, recalling that he had a ton of fun working with Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Baywatch. My favourite former WWE star and favourite Marvel actor are ready to join Bollywood. Talk of crossovers!

BROMANCE, BROMANCE

It's always great to see two movie stars coming together and Chris and Dwayne share screen space in the upcoming Christmas movie Red One. While they're joined by several seasoned actors, ranging from J.K. Simmons, Bonnie Hunt, Lucy Liu, Kristofer Hivju and Kiernan Shipka, their banter is easily the film's biggest highlight. The plot revolves around Santa's kidnapping from the North Pole and an operative from his elite force, Callum Drift (Dwayne), who reluctantly joins a skilled tracker and bounty hunter, Jack O'Malley (Chris), to save him. Jack isn't exactly on Santa's “nice” list, so Callum isn't the biggest fan. However, going by our conversation, in real life, the two are each other's biggest fans.
