London Mayor Sadiq Khan, whose parents hail from Pakistan, has a request for Bollywood: Redo the old super-hit Amar Akbar Anthony.

“We have a Christian king (Charles III), a Muslim mayor (himself) and a Hindu Prime Minister (Rishi Sunak). I’d play Amitabh Bachchan’s part,” he said with a chuckle.

The 1977 Hindi movie featured Vinod Khanna (a Hindu police officer), Rishi Kapoor (a Muslim qawwali singer) and Amitabh (Christian liquor seller).
