A few Northerners joined the Confederate States of America (CSA); many Southerners stayed with the Union. So Tamannaah will do as a Southerner. May I take it that she wanted to be a Lead Actress as a young teen, and by then could only do so in the South? Dancelover Tamannaah is a North Indian with a South Indian career; Asin is the only actual South Indian in my list

Somewhere in a parallel universe there's a version of Amar Akbar Anthony circa 1964 starring Shashi Kapoor as Amar, Raj Kapoor as Akbar, and Shammi Kapoor as Anthony, with Prithvi playing their father and Lalita Pawar playing their mother. If only....

Sleepless in Seattle - I'm aware that the concept was partially done with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, but maybe a version that's a bit more realistic much closer to the original? Perhaps we could have a Bangalore-based software engineer who moves to Mumbai with his young son and falls in love with a social media blogger? The film could capture the magic and energy of the city of Mumbai.
We could have Ranbir Kapoor in Tom Hanks' role - I think he's young enough to be refreshing as a romantic lead but also old enough to play a father to a young child; and maybe Shraddha Kapoor in Meg Ryan's role? I think she would be good as the mother figure/media reporter.
Also, a remake of the Telugu film Manam (with the three generations of ANR, Nagarjuna, and Naga Chaitanya) would be a great proposition. How about Amitabh or Vinod Khanna in ANR's role, SRK in Nagarjuna's role and Varun in Naga Chaitanya's role? I almost feel like Dilwale will be somewhat based on this, considering how much Rohit Shetty is influenced by South Indian cinema.

I want a Bollywood Bewitched! The original series, not the movie. Staring... Tamannaah as Samantha Ranveer Singh as Daren Rekha as Endora I just see them fitting perfectly into the roles. The plot... I'm fuzzy on the plot. It is hard to take a sitcom to film format. Maybe something to do with Samantha's evil cousin? I just wouldn't want them to break-up Samantha and Daren at any point. That being said, I could envision a Bollywood late 90's spinoff of the TV show Full House with SRK as Danny, Govinda as Joey, and Saif Ali Khan as Jesse, circa 1997? Throw in some melodrama regarding the deceased mother (Madhuri in a guest appearance) and Kajol as Aunt Becky as the love interest between SRK and Saif, with Govinda as mediator? Or an I Love Lucy with SRK-Juhi in the same time period?

If only.... I feel you - somewhere in a parallel universe there's a version of Amar Akbar Anthony circa 1998 starring Akshay Kumar as Amar, Saif Ali Khan as Akbar, and SRK as Anthony, with Anupam Kher playing their father and Farida Jalal playing their mother

If only.... There is the next best thing, which is Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958), starring the Kumar brothers Ashok, Anoop, and Kishore. And Madhubala to boot! I once speculated that Waqt would have been awesome with Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, and Shashi Kapoor in the Raaj Kumar, Sunil Dutt, and Shashi Kapoor roles respectively ... but really I don't want to imagine Waqt without Raaj Kumar.
