Which are the movies you watched where you thought another actor was perfect for the role when you were watching it? And you wished you could recast the movie?


For e.g. -- I thought Ranbir would have nailed the character of 'Dan' in 'October'. The angsty, brooding parts would have been aced by him. He would have done full justice to the character.


I thought of Taapsee playing Sonam's character in Ek ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga.


I thought of Deepika playing Alia's character in Kalank.

Super 30, for me Pankaj Tripathi who played the corrupt politician would have suited the character of Anand much better.

October was tooo depressing of a movie, nobody can pull off that character. Ranbir only excels in movies where he is playing a man child with plenty of comical moments through out the movie.


Kalank omg anyone other than Alia, she was just embarrassing. But yeah Deepika would have fit the role to the T.


As for Sonam's movies, well literally anyone could have played her roles a thousand times better 😆


Recently, Gunjan Saxena comes to mind. Man Janhvi's acting is so embarrassing! Tapsee would have nailed it.

This is a really tough question for me as it's difficult to imagine any movie with any other actor as that actor becomes the part of the character somehow and you imagine that actor only with that character. Though Ranbir is a far better actor than Varun but I do feel that Varun was apt for that role. He did justify Dan.

If possible, I want to replace Salman in most of his movies I have watched with any good actor. 😂

I guess, Sonam did well as Neerja but I do feel any good actress like Radhika would have taken that role to another level.

Rest ,I need to recall. 😂
