Re-Casting Diaries is a series where we recast iconic, old & cult movies taking them into another era. As Om Shanti Om turned 17 years today since its release in 2007, we recast it as a 2024 film. Let's take a look at who plays who:
Om Shanti Om was one of the all time blockbusters films by Shah Rukh Khan. This iconic film was released on 9th November 2007 starring Shahrukh Khan as Om Kapoor & Om Makhija, Deepika Padukone as Shanti & Sandhya Bansal, Arjun Rampal as Mukesh Mehra & Shreyas Talpade as Pappu Master. Let's recast these iconic characters:
Shreyas Talpade turned out as one of the best supporting actors after Om Shanti Om. His iconic character Pappu Master is still audiences' favourite when it comes to this film. We think Aparshakti Khurana can totally fit this character in 2024, owing to his ablity in gracing supporting characters.
Remember when Riteish Deshmukh started doing gray characters? It all started with Ek Villain and we got to see a whole new side of this rom-com actor. Riteish can definately embrace the character of Mukesh Mehra in 2024.
Who can replace Deepika's aura, her effortlessness and the glamour she brought to these roles? Well if it is 2024 and we have to recast, one name pops up- Kiara Advani. She can totally sieze the character with her retro beauty & magical expressions.
Well, Well! Is there any replacement of Shah Rukh Khan even in 2024? Can't find one! But What if we twist this tale a little bit and see that what if we have to recast SRK in the 2007 movie and put someone else? The options are- Farhaan Akhtar, Shahid Kapoor & Imraan Khan, let us know who can play Om Kapoor as good as King Khan!
