Hollywood star Tony Jaa is a big fan of Bollywood action films, and considers Lord Hanuman a superhero. The martial arts superstar says that given a chance, he would like to bring the character of the Indian mythological world alive on the big screen.
"I know Bollywood really well, and all the action movies... (I know) Tiger Shroff, Vidyut Jammwal, Rana (Daggubati), Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan," Jaa told Ians.
"I know them really well because I watch Bollywood movies and am a big fan. I (also) like Hanuman... (he is a) superhero," he added.
Asked if he would like to work in a film as Hanuman, Jaa said, "Yeah, that would be awesome."
For the action star of Asia origin, entering the cinematic superhero space is a dream, which he hopes to realise one day.
"I would like to become a superhero for DC or Marvel... that's my dream.
