Satte Pe Satta Remake: Priyanka Chopra or Anushka Sharma, who’s the perfect fit?

Adding on to the contemporary lists of Bollywood remakes, the one with the maximum buzz around it is Satte Pe Satta remake. Filmmakers Farah Khan and Rohit Shetty will be collaborating for this remake, wherein Hrithik Roshan will reprise the role of Amitabh Bachchan. However, the leading lady of the film is yet to be locked in. With names like Kriti Sanon, Katrina Kaif and more ringing in, the hunt for the film’s heroine is still on.

After Deepika turned down the offer, as she had no dates to spare until 2021 due to her busy schedule, the makers have now narrowed down their search to two names- Priyanka Chopra and Anushka Sharma. While, Anushka is pretty much finalized as the heroine, PeeCee being the other option on the list, has made the dilemma grow.

“It is a big film, so everyone wants to be in a film that will be talked about a lot. It also adds to their brand value to be a part of a box office ensemble. There is a lot of casting left. There are eight couples in the film, but the lead man has a double role, so it will be eight girls for seven boys. Once the leads are cast, you will see a mad scramble for the other roles,” a movie business analyst told Deccan Chronicle.

Recently, there were reports of Deepika Padukone to be shortlisted as the female lead and Farhan, too was keen on casting her. DP’s name emerged because the original role was played by a south Indian actress – Hema Malini. Also, the Padmaavat actress would be an easy fit, having previously worked with both the filmmakers involved with this remake. However, Deepika could not allot dates for the project and refused the film.

Anushka or Priyanka, who do you think will be a perfect fit for the remake of the classic 1982 Bollywood drama, Satte Pe Satta?
