Tushar Joshi rounds up Bollywood's best men to get the job done and tells you why they fit the bill

Who: Barney Ross
Played by: Sylvester Stallone
Desi replacement: Salman Khan
Why: Barney Ross is fearless and devoid of emotion -- sounds like Sallu. His only attachment is to his pickup truck, his seaplane, and his team of loyal modern- day warriors. Salman can even cast his friends as warriors. And then there is that resemblance with Sly. A perfect fit, we say.

Who: Yin Yang
Played by: Jet Li
Desi replacement: Akshay Kumar
Why: Yang is a master at close quarter combat who's quick on his feet and very difficult to defeat. Expect lots of action. And where there is action, there is Akki. Also he hasn't done a full-on action film in a while, so the audiences will lap this one up, if he's in it.

Who: Lee Christmas
Played by: Jason Statham
Desi replacement: Saif Ali Khan
Why: Lee is a former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade. Saif is playing a secret agent in his upcoming film and if that isn't reason enough, right now he even has a fit physique. And that Brit accent, like Statham.

Who: Gunnar Jensen
Played by: Dolph Lundgren
Desi replacement: Sunny Deol
Why: Jensen is a combat veteran and an expert in precision sniping who struggles with his own demons. Gunnar is some one you don't want to mess with. Have you seen Gadar? We rest our case.

Who: Hale Ceasar
Played by: Terry Crews
Desi replacement: Sunil Shetty
Why: Ceaser has known Barney for 10 years and is a long barrel weapons specialist. His friendship with Barney has withstood the test of times. Anna is someone who stands by his friends, no matter what. Strong, trustworthy, and dependable, we'd cast him in a second in this part.

Who: Tool
Played by: Mickey Rourke
Desi replacement: Sanjay Dutt
Why: Tool is a former Expendable, now an arms dealer and a tattoo parlour artist/owner. He loves getting inked as much as he loves blowing up people. Dutt loves guns and tattoos. Tailor-made, in our opinion.

Who: Toll Road
Played by: Randy Couture
Desi replacement: Ajay Devgn
Why: Road is a skilled demolitions expert and considered the intellect of the group. If there's anyone to turn for advice to, it has to be Toll. He's the strong and silent type. You can depend on him to be sane in the face of mayhem all around. Fits Devgn like a glove.

Who: Dan Paine
Played by: Steve Austin
Desi replacement: John Abraham
Why: Paine is the bodyguard who protects his boss under any cost. After switching loyalties, he joins the Expendables on their mission. He sure has the biceps for the role. And he sounds like someone whose hands we'd put our lives in, without a moment's hesitation.

Who: Mr Church
Played by: Bruce Willis
Desi replacement: Amitabh Bachchan
Why: Church is the big boss, the man who hires the Expendables. They definitely respect him for all that he's been through. Now isn't that a role for Mr Bachchan?
