Ever since the first teaser of Bhavesh Joshi has landed, Bollywood fans are in awe of the vigilante drama. The teaser shows some terrific action sequences and the theme of the movie - a masked vigilante taking on the criminals - has resonated well with the fans. In the era of superhero boom in movies thanks to Marvel's Avengers series and DC's own slate of superheroes, a grounded project like Bhavesh Joshi looks exciting. Moreover it is directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, who has made two good movies in Udaan and Lootera. Interestingly we are yet to get a proper glimpse of the lead, Harshvardhan Kapoor in the teaser, as he is obscured by shadows and mask.

Ever since the teaser had come out, there has been quite a few comparison of Bhavesh Joshi with other superhero properties. Those bright posters reminded us of Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill posters. The lighted eyed on Bhavesh Joshi's mask draw parallels to that of Spider-Man. There are also comparisons with that of Marvel's Daredevil.

However, we have a feeling that makers have looked upto another hero in a popular cartoon series for inspiration. And that hero is Casey Jones. While the name may not click with some of the Indian fans, but if you are a fan of the show Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, you might be familiar with the name.

Casey Jones is considered as a friend of the mutant turtles who considers himself a vigilante. When attacking criminals, he oftens dresses up wearing a hockey mask and uses a baton or a hockey stick to beat the criminals. He was also involved in a romantic relationship with Turtles' journalist friend  April O'Neil.

In the 2016 live-action movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, Casey Jones was played by Arrow fame Stephen Amell.

So what do you think, all TMNT fans? Did Bhavesh Joshi remind you of Casey Jones? Meanwhile the movie is all set to release on May 25.
