So which Indian actresses would you preferably cast in the respective roles of Elisabeth Sparkle(Demi Moore) and Margaret Qualley(Sue)?


Shoot!

The plot

On her fiftieth birthday, Elisabeth Sparkle, a once-celebrated but now-faded Hollywood film star, is abruptly dismissed from her long-running aerobics TV show by Harvey, the producer, due to her age. A distraught Elisabeth crashes her car while distracted by a billboard of herself being taken down. At the hospital, a young nurse covertly gives her a flash drive advertising "The Substance", a black market drug that promises a "younger, more beautiful, more perfect" version of oneself

Damn this particular scene from the movie was just so perfectly shot! Creepy yet effective at the same time

Part of the meta-commentary of The Substance was casting a popcorn actress who was not allowed to be taken seriously and then aged out of those roles, leaving her out in the cold. I think someone like Sushmita Sen would be the right pick for that.

If the substance was made in ITV they should Cast Nikki Aneji Walia as Elizabeth and They Should Cast Jheel Mehta As Sue
