Now that all that Sanskari Bond business has died down, lets move to other things bond. In a recent interview to Jimmy Fallon, Daniel Craig said that this was perhaps teh last time he was playing Bond. He also mentioned the possibility of the next Bond being a female! we asked some actors to list their choices for us, and they were game. Read on....

Anil Kapoor
When I was in LA recently to discuss my second season of 24 which I am currently shooting for, there was talk of having a female Jack Bauer for the next series of the international 24. I am excited and waiting for both James Bond and Jack Bauer to be played by Hollywood actresses. It will certainly be fun to see these two great heroes being played by actresses! Since James Bond is all about action, I can only see Angelia Jolie playing the female James Bond. She’s a hugely successful star. Even Charlize Theron would be fabulous as she’s terrific in Mad Max 3.

Ranveer Singh
I think it'll be super cool to see a female James Bond . I would definitely watch that movie . I would like to see Cate Blanchett or Charlize Theron. Cate is one of my favourite actors of all time and I would love to see her in a kickass role like this. Charlize was very impressive in her part in Mad Max. Both are gorgeous ladies , they have strong personalities, are versatile and have the charm required to play the female Bond. 

Akshay Kumar
if I were to choose the first ultimate female Bond it would have to be either Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Lawrence. Angelina has some major man-eating skills, she's a killer stunt actress already, she's got nerves of steal and an attitude to win over any man, agent or child. As for Jennifer Lawrence, she's fresh-faced and full of surprises, a dazzling actress, proved herself fit to survive and an absolute charm on and off the screen.

Riteish Deshmukh
Jennifer Lawrence. She is stunning, a super actor and does action very well.

Arjun Kapoor
Charlize Theron. She imbibes every quality a strong today's woman needs to be an agent who can kick ass and leave u drooling for more.

Varun Dhawan
 A lot of them are quite fit, but I think Jennifer Lawrence would be good as Bond.

Sushant Singh Rajput
I think for me it would be either Meryl Streep just because she is convincing as any character she decides to portray. Or Lucy Liu because of the ease she has with action-packed roles.

Vivek Oberoi
Scarlett Johansson. She’s a fabulous actor and can transform on screen brilliantly. Also she would look super hot in a black suit!

Prateik
Charlize Theron. The James Bond 007 series is all about class and elegance and it doesn't get classier or more elegant than Charlize Theron.

Sonu Sood
It looks tough to see a female James Bond but if any actress will look good she has to be Angelina jolie. I feel she is superb with action n has the body language of an action star.

BOLLY BHAKTS
Sunil Shetty

I would think Deepika Padukone and Angelina Jolie. Today with Priyanka Chopra’s successful journey in Quantico, Hollywood is seeing the kind of talent we have. Our B-Town stars have the same amount of talent, dedication and working hours as Hollywood. The world has become a smaller place. Deepika fits the bill as she has the energy. body structure and body language of what a female James Bond can be like. Hollywood is about music, dance and voice and we have all that too.
 
Irrfan Khan
Deepika Padukone. Great actress. Very stylish and cool. She can perform any role with ease.

DIRECTOR'S PICKS

Milap Zaveri
I would love to see Scarlett Johansson play the female James Bond. She would be a terrific Bond! She’s the perfect mix of oomph, sexuality, style, acting abilities and is great in action too. She had played the Black Widow/Natasha Romanova in Iron Man 2, Marvel's The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Avengers: Age of Ultron and Lucy in Lucy and has proved to be great in action.

Ken Ghosh: Scarlett Johansson. Sexy, stylish and smart.

Luv Ranjan
I hope it never happens. But if it does, my choice would be Scarlett Johansson. That raw sensuality combined with the self-confidence would make her the perfect Bond. Seductive and deadly.

Vikram Bhatt
I would like to see Scarlett Johansson, she is one actor who has consistently conveyed to the viewer that she has the mind, body and talent for action films. Be it the avenger series or the terrific film, Lucy.

Navdeep Singh
Keira Knightley. She’s English, suave and would look terrific kicking ass.

Sudhir Mishra
Jennifer Lawrence. She's spunky, edgy and looks like she can carry off the action.

Nikhil Advani
Jennifer Lawrence. She's already shown that she can be quite lethal in the Hunger Games franchise. Although in my opinion Bond should always be a British male chauvinist caricature... Ussi mein majaa hai...

Remo D’Souza
It would be Angelina Jolie as I feel she has the quality to be classy and hot at the same time and she has done most of the action flicks in Hollywood  like Tomb Raider, Wanted and Mr & Mrs Smith and she convinces you in the part.

Bejoy Nambiar
Angelina Jolie.  I think what she did in Salt is pretty close to a James Bond kinda character.  She was super convincing in that one.

Suparn Varma
I would cast Cate Blanchett as the next James Bond because she can kick the ass of any man or woman living or dead!

Vikramjit Singh
Jennifer Connelly. She is the perfect fit.

Vibhu Puri: “Keira Knightley. It’s in the power of her eyes. They can dupe anyone! An eternal timeless beauty like Keira can get away with anything.”

ODD ONE OUT
Sanjay Gupta

Call me a masochist, but having grown up on Bond, I can't imagine any woman playing him. James Bond is sacrosanct as a man. Tell Mr Craig to shut up.

BOLLY BHAKTS
Kunal Kohli

Priyanka Chopra. She's got the style, class and panache ! And she's now an international star too who's been successful  in Hollywood too with Quantico.

Umesh Shukla
Deepika Padukone or Priyanka Chopra. They have charisma, attitude ( in a positive sense) .And  they have a terrific survival instinct.

Rahul Dholakia
Deepika Padukone or Priyanka Chopra. They are both a class apart.
