Disney’s Middle Eastern/South Asian fairy tale is finally going to make its run on the great white way. However, Aladdin on Broadway failed to cast anyone of Middle Eastern/South Asian descent in their “Multicultural Cast.” Here are some recommendations.
Jafar - Amrish Puri
Amrish Puri, Bollywood's ultimate villain as the power-hungry Grand Vizier of Agrabah...you know if he was alive. RIP.
The Sultan - Rishi Kapoor
The Sultan, frazzled and always jolly, exemplified by the amazing Rishi Kapoor.

Genie - Anupam Kher
As the therapist from Silver Linings Playbook, who wouldn't want their wishes granted by this five time winner for the Best Performance in a Comedic Role.
Aladdin - Siddarth Malothra
Siddarth Malothra has been receiving some heat for his recent tantrums and anger management issues, but what else do you expect from the Prince of Thieves.
