Actor trios who can ace the part if the film were to be made in India

Kiara Advani, Arjun Rampal and Shahid Kapoor

The trio of Kiara Advani, Arjun Rampal, and Shahid Kapoor is a dream casting for any romantic film, even more so for It Ends With Us. Kiara Advani has made her mark with some iconic roles over the years, making her the perfect choice to play Lily Bloom. Arjun Rampal is certainly one to make the fans drool and would be the perfect counterpart to Justin Baldoni’s Ryle Kincaid. Shahid Kapoor on the other hand can switch effortlessly between romance and comedy making him the perfect choice to play Lily’s childhood lover Atlas.

Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur

One of Indian Cinema’s most loved couples, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s chemistry is remarkable, and seeing them on screen as Lily and Atlas would certainly cause a fan frenzy. Aditya Roy Kapur playing the intense Ryle Kincaid would be the perfect way to complete the trio. This dream casting would be the perfect way to capitalise on nostalgia, with these roles serving as a quiet throwback to their early days in the romance genre.

Shraddha Kapoor, Imran Khan and John Abraham

Imran Khan’s return to the big screen and the romance genre in particular has been long awaited. Having him play Atlas alongside Shraddha Kapoor as Lily and John Abraham as Ryle would be the perfect way to reintroduce the actor to the silver screen. Shraddha Kapoor has made a significant impact in the romance genre. Seeing her make a much-awaited return to romantic films is something fans would undoubtedly enjoy. Fans have enjoyed watching John as a romantic, making him the perfect choice to play the intense Ryle Kincaid.

Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan

Fans have been waiting for a big-screen reunion of the Student of the Year trio and what better way to do it than with an Indian adaptation of It Ends With Us! Having Alia as Lily, Sidharth as Ryle and Varun as Atlas would be a treat for fans. This casting would bring back the nostalgia of one of the most popular rom-com and give fans a sense of what it would be like if Alia had ended up with Varun instead of Sidharth in their debut flick.

Adapting a film like It Ends With Us to an Indian film, would bring a fresh perspective to the romance genre and showcase the vibrant talents of some of the industry’s most celebrated stars. These actors would bring a unique flair to this beautiful narrative, blending emotional depth with Indian Cinema’s signature drama and romance. Add a touch of iconic dances and a few romantic songs, and this would be a sure-fire Blockbuster.
