Recast Bridget Jones' Diary in BW - Page 2

For Bridget I can only think of Parineeti

Daniel Cleaver- Sidhanth Chatruvedi (he got the fcuk boy over-confident smirk)

Mark Darcy- Hrithik

Although I feel a young Salman Khan as Daniel Cleaver and young Saif for Mark Darcy with Vidya or Rani as Bridget will be the best suited for the roles.

Was that the role or people took it that way because it was Hugh Grant?

That was the role. In the books too he's this a charming, sweep you off your feet' good looking womanizer who's very sexy but infamous for being a slimy pervert and all round trash human being.

A young John Abraham ir Milind Soman would suit the role as well..

Wait.. Yes! Milind Soman would be perfect for the role. Just the right amount of good looking and detached.

This is basically a modern take on Pride and Prejudice 😂😂

Anyway definitely Bridget Parineeti Chopra, Daniel Ranbir Kapoor and Darcy Ayushmann Khuranna

I take offence on behalf of Colin Firth that y'all are taking names like Rajkumar, Kartik (NO WAY) Shahid as the Mark Darcy. NO. NOBODY in Bolly has that peculiar reticent bumbling yet brutally straightforward and honest charm needed for Darcy. The closest I can think of is Fawad. Dreamy eyes and even dreamier man. Polite and strikingly honest. Fawad played someone like him in Khubsoorat.

Bridget- Priyanka. Just perfect. I can see her fumbling with her glasses and she'd be sexy with any weight on.

Cleaver- Lets see. Who has natural bedhead charm with a smirk. I want to say Hrithik. Hrithik from Bang Bang could be a good Daniel Cleaver.

This! thank you.

I was and facepalming when I saw names like RKR and Karthik Chipmunk as Mark Darcy. I can't think anyone from Bolly who could be Darcy. NO ONE!

Bridget: Priyanka? Maybe.

Hmm!

Mark Darcy- Let's just go ahead and agree forget Bollywood but even in Hollywood no other actor would play Mark Darcy like Colin Firth. Forget Mark Darcy, any Darcy role was just meant for this man and this man only. This is every form Mr. Darcy.

If I HAD to pick someone in Bollywood though I would pick either Vicky Kaushal or Ranveer Singh. SRK or Abhishek if we are doing older cast. Fawad Khan if he was still around. Darcy needs to be a little socially awkward but at the same time quite attractive and dreamy. Not saying people can't find KRK attractive but objectively he is not considered a good looking man in bollywood by most and typically not on women's dream men list.

Bridget Jones- No hot, thin bollywood actress can do this role in my opinion. The whole essence of this role is that this woman is not your typical size 2 hot woman. Yes Priyanka can look like a mess but at the end of the day she is still a hot body putting on frumpy clothing to be unattractive. The way Deepika put on glasses to be the nerd no one supposedly noticed was beautiful in YJHD. So whoever this actress is, she should be able to put on few pounds and act outrageous. For me those would Parineeti, Bhoomi, Radhika Madan, the Dangal ladies . Sonam does a lot of these look at me I am a mess role but she still looks good physically so no.

Daniel Cleaver blah Hugh Grant was born for these types of shallow, womanizer roles. I don't who in Bollywood can do this among younger actors. Ranbir Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Siddhart Malhotra, Abhishek Bachchan...
