SHRADDHA KAPOOR AS JENNA, DULQUER SALMAAN AS MATT: REIMAGINING '13 GOING ON 30' CAST
It's been 20 years since '13 Going on 30' released. Available for viewing on Netflix, the fun film revolves around Jenna (played by Jennifer Garner), who wishes to not be 13 anymore and wakes up 17 years later as a 30-year-old. It's a fun, happy watch for many of us, and for some, this is their go-to film. But, have you ever imagined what the cast would look like had the film been made in India today?
On Wednesday Wishlist, let's look at which Bollywood actors could fit the cast of '13 Going on 30', if it was ever remade in India today.
Shraddha Kapoor as Jenna Rink
She's bubbly, she's happy-go-lucky, and she's confused. While Alia Bhatt might come to your mind right away, we feel that Shraddha Kapoor might be a better fit for the character. She can embody the bubbly charm and possesses acting skills to bring out the transformation from a teenage girl to a successful adult. Plus, she could totally give magazine editor vibes if she put on a pair of glasses, wouldn't she?
Dulquer Salmaan as Matty
Mark Ruffalo nailed the character of Matty. If it was to be reprised in India, who can be more charming than DQ? One look would be enough to make Jenna, and the audience swoon. Moreover, he can bring the warmth and sincerity needed for the character of Matt, who is Jenna's childhood friend and love interest.
Disha Patani as Lucy
Judy Greer played the original Lucy, and we feel that Disha Patani would be able to play Jenna's frenemy. She can bring the right balance of competitiveness and friendship into the character. Also, can you imagine the amount of great looks and charm that would be oozing on the screen?
Abhay Deol as Richard, the magazine editor
Originally played by Andy Serkis, Abhay Deol would bring the necessary charisma and humour to the role of Richard, the editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine where adult Jenna works.
Anupam Kher and Ratna Pathak Shah as Jenna's parents
They can bring the right mix of parental warmth and comic timing to the roles of Jenna's parents.
