Never have I ever been this excited for a film. Greta Gerwig’s directorial Barbie is all set to hit the theatres on July 21st and movie-goers across the world are looking forward to this one. As much as the interesting subject matter, it is the film’s lead—Margot Robbie—who is driving the international frenzy. She has been serving killer promotional lewks and looks like the perfect human manifestation of the iconic Mattel doll. However, there’s one more actress who could have done it equally well. The best part? She is a desi girl!
Why, of course, I am talking about Deepika Padukone! If someone were to make an Indian version of the Barbie film, there won’t be a better person to play the titular role than DP. Here’s why:
This Barbie Is A Superstar
No one in the Hindi film industry has Deepika Padukone’s screen presence. Pretty much like Margot, it is hard to take your eyes off her! She is also performing phenomenally well at the box office. It s but obvious that few would be able to exude the kind of charisma that the role entails as well as DP!
This Barbie Is Claiming The World!
From Louis Vuitton to Cartier, DP is currently representing a lot of big fashion brands. She is also making her presence felt on International red carpets including the like of MET Gala, Cannes Film Festival, etc. Currently, she is a global phenomenon. Basically, if DP is the Barbie girl, this definitely is a Barbie world!
This Barbie Loves Pink
Cliched as it might sound, you gotta love pink to channel solid Barbie vibes. Deepika fares pretty well in the department and never misses a chance to flaunt some gorgeous pink fits. Here’s proof:
God, I should be a Casting Director!
