    What's the story

    The Hollywood blockbuster series Deadpool, featuring Ryan Reynolds, has unexpected connections to Bollywood icons Shah Rukh Khan and Raj Kapoor.

    The franchise, which kicked off in 2016 under the helm of Tim Miller, includes a character who is a taxi driver of Indian origin and a fan of vintage Hindi songs.

    In a memorable scene from the inaugural film, Deadpool is seen enjoying the song Mera Juta Hai Japani, a hit from Kapoor's 1955 film Shree 420.

    Musical consistency

    Bollywood's impact persists in Deadpool sequel

    The follow-up to the original Deadpool movie continued to weave in elements of Bollywood, particularly its music.

    In a scene from Deadpool 2, the action hero takes another ride with the taxi driver of Indian origin, Dopinder (Karan Soni).

    During this ride, the song Yu Hi Chala Chal from Khan's film Swades is heard playing in the background, further emphasizing Bollywood's influence on this Hollywood series.
