Whic actress would have best suited in Cleopatra's role if ever it's made in Indian version?
I would have loved watching Cleopatra in Bollywood seeing how famous she still is

I hope it's not true: Kyunki off air.
I feel Aishwarya Rai or DP
They have the looks and aura for this kind of role
Aishwarya in her prime

Only and only Bipasha Basu.
She has that look. Strong, seductive, sexy and knows what she is doing, how to get what she wants.
You included someone as worse as Kriti Sanon/ Rashmika but instead you could have included Katrina/Shraddha/Kiara
From the list tabu dp or aish.
In choices queen Alia
The first person who came to mind was Sonam Kapoor. But she is not in the choices. Cleopatra was Egyptian. So that rules out the most fair-skinned, light-eyed folks for me. Liz Taylor is an anomaly, not a template for Cleo.
Cleopatra's relationships with Julius Cesar and Marc Anthony take place in her thirties. So that rules out some of the younger actresses for me too.
Contrary to popular belief, she wasn't particularly stunning or attractive. What made men fall for her was her charm, wit, and intellect. She was also a high-society fashionista of ancient society. A lot of elaborate skin care routines (bathing in donkey milk) and makeup using minerals are often traced back to her. She liked to live that high-society life. Which led me to immediately think of Sonam fist. She also has the cheekbones, nose, and eyebrows I associate with a Cleopatra.
But perhaps she falls short on the charm and wit end. So the only one from the available list that makes sense to me is Tabu. I mean Cleopatra had some Lady Macbeth level of cunning to play Caesar and Marc Anthony - and Tabu has done Lady Macbeth.
Seriously - Ash as Cleo though folks? At least Cleo wasn't Nubian. Or else this casting choice would be criminal (not that it isn't there already)
Only DP! Although historians now find that, Cleopatra was anything but a beauty. It was her sheer personality, cunning, wit & politics that got her all those men. She knew exactly what to say & how to seduce men but wasn’t just a beauty- She had grit, substance & strength of will.
From this list, ofc only DP since fair-skinned women wouldn’t cut it since Cleo was Egyptian.
