After a viral AI-driven Bollywood makeover of F.R.I.E.N.D.S in 2026, a new concept titled MITRON 2.0 has emerged, this time celebrating Hindi cinema’s iconic ’90s stars by placing them inside television’s most beloved sitcom universe.

Casting the ’90s Dream Team

MITRON 2.0 shifts gears by revisiting Bollywood’s golden mainstream era. Aamir Khan steps into Chandler Bing’s sarcastic wit, Salman Khan embodies Joey Tribbiani’s charm, and Akshay Kumar reimagines Ross Geller’s awkward intellect. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan channels Monica Geller’s perfectionism, Urmila Matondkar mirrors Rachel Green’s fashion-forward energy, while Juhi Chawla captures Phoebe Buffay’s eccentric warmth. The AI casting smartly aligns each role with the stars’ defining ’90s screen identities.

The First MITRON Experiment

Before MITRON 2.0, an earlier AI-generated version titled MITRON had already sparked online buzz. That concept featured a contemporary Bollywood lineup—Ranbir Kapoor as Ross Geller, Priyanka Chopra as Rachel Green, Kareena Kapoor Khan as Monica Geller, Aamir Khan as Chandler Bing, Varun Dhawan as Joey Tribbiani, Kangana Ranaut as Phoebe Buffay, and Hrithik Roshan as Mike Hannigan. Drawing from the actors’ modern global appeal and screen personas, the project laid the foundation for what would later evolve into a more nostalgia-driven sequel.

Why F.R.I.E.N.D.S Still Resonates

Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, F.R.I.E.N.D.S (1994–2004) remains a cultural touchstone, as noted by Warner Bros. archives and Nielsen viewership data. Its universal themes of friendship and adulthood allow endless reinterpretation, even through AI-powered creativity.
