The movie adaptation of British author EL James' bestselling erotic novel Fifty Shades Of Grey may star Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson as Christian Grey.
An immensely successful and wealthy entreprenuer, Grey -- who has some serious sexual kinks -- embarks on an BDSM-fuelled affair with Anastasia Steele (for the uninitiated, BDSM stands for Bondage Dominance Submission Sado Masochism, a sexual fetish that involves role-playing and other acts).
Now, such a film will never find its way to Bollywood.
But we decided to let our imagination run wild, and ask YOU, dear reader, which Bollywood hero would suit the enigmatic and sexy Christian Grey best on screen. Have a look at our suggestions, and vote at the end of the slide show.
Ranbir Kapoor
He's long established there's nothing he can't do.
And who better to play such a myterious character than this part-sweet, part-sexy and all around great actor?
Hrithik Roshan

Also, can you think of better way to put that body to use on screen?
Ranveer Singh

If anything, it may solidify his reputation as a sex symbol.
Arjun Rampal

Ever wonder what he'd be like as Christian Grey?
Abhay Deol

He defied his good guy image as the morally-corrupt coke-head Devinder Singh Dhillon in Anurag Kashyap's tour de force Dev D in 2009.
If you ask us, he may bring a personal touch to the character.
Shahid Kapur

May be going back to the basics will be of some help to this actor.
Salman Khan

Imran Khan

Akshay Kumar

Emraan Hashmi

He may have graduated to performance-driven roles and meaty scripts but a little diversion never hurt anybody.
