With all this hype for season three, we couldn't resist a bit of fantasy casting of our own! Imagine if House of the Dragon were set in India, featuring some of Bollywood's brightest stars. Here's our dream cast:
1. Deepika Padukone as Rhaenyra Targaryen
Rhaenyra Targaryen is the strong, determined heir to the Iron Throne, and who better to play her than the gorgeous Deepika Padukone? Rhaenyra is a fierce and ambitious character, grappling with her destiny and the immense pressure of her claim. Deepika, with her regal aura, commanding presence, and intense acting skills, would perfectly capture Rhaenyra's fiery spirit and complex character, bringing depth and authenticity to her struggle for the throne.
2. Hrithik Roshan as Daemon Targaryen
Daemon Targaryen, the rebellious and charismatic prince, is a character full of contradictions – charming yet dangerous, loyal yet unpredictable. Hrithik Roshan, with his versatile performances and magnetic presence, is just the actor to make Daemon unforgettable. Hrithik's ability to portray both heroic and anti-heroic roles would add layers to Daemon's character, making him a captivating and enigmatic figure on screen.
3. Alia Bhatt as Alicent Hightower
Alicent Hightower, the politically savvy queen, is a role that demands both vulnerability and strength. Alia Bhatt's impressive range and nuanced portrayals make her the perfect fit for Alicent, who maneuvers through the treacherous politics of the realm with grace and intelligence. Alicent is a character driven by her sense of duty and maternal instincts, and Alia's ability to convey deep emotion and resilience would bring her to life brilliantly.

Rana Daggubati Addresses 8-Hr Shift Row; Deepika's Fans Troll Sandeep Reddy As She Joins Atlee Film
Last Updated: Rana Daggubati offered a nuanced view on the debate. Atlee welcomed Deepika Padukone onboard his film. Deepika Padukone's exit from Spirit, the much-anticipated project by Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has ignited a wider industry debate on working conditions and contractual expectations within Indian cinema. The new mom reportedly opted out of the Prabhas-starrer over disagreements related to an 8-hour workday clause and profit-sharing demands. Rana Daggubati has stepped in with a more balanced and thought-provoking perspective. Deepika Padukone's fans have begun trolling Sandeep Reddy Vanga after the actress was confirmed for Atlee's Telugu film. Sandeep Reddy Vanga reportedly removed Deepika Padukone from Spirit as he couldn't match her demands. One of them was that Deepika allegedly refused to mouth Telugu dialogues. Amid this row, Deepika has signed Atlee and Allu Arjun's upcoming Telugu film, AA22xA6. In a revelation that has set social media ablaze, Dubai-born actress and reality TV star Edin Rose has made an emotional confession about her feelings for Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer — a declaration that's equal parts bold and heartfelt. Speaking in a recent interview with Filmygyan, the Bigg Boss 18 alumna shared that her admiration for the Punjab Kings captain runs deeper than the average celebrity crush. Rapper Badshah found himself at the centre of social media backlash after making a remark about singer Dua Lipa. In an X post, the Bad Boy singer wrote that he'd 'rather make babies with her" — a comment that didn't sit well with a majority of social media users. Hours after the criticism continued to pour in, Badshah clarified his post on X. The Great Indian Kapil Show season 3 has been generating a significant buzz on the internet ever since its announcement. The shooting for the upcoming season has finally kicked off and will start streaming on the OTT giant Netflix. As fans await to see Kapil Sharma and his team tickle their funny bones, the makers have now shot a new episode with Indian cricketers like Gautam Gambhir, Rishabh Pant, Abhishek Sharma and Yuzvendra Chahal.

Triptii Dimri Flaunts Insane Abs, Clean Diet After Replacing Deepika Padukone In Spirit
Last Updated: Triptii's physical transformation and visible discipline seems to align perfectly with the major professional milestone she just bagged. Triptii Dimri has social media buzzing once again for a mix of fitness inspo and headline-making casting news. Days after it was confirmed that the Animal actress is replacing Deepika Padukone in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's much-anticipated film Spirit, Triptii dropped a carousel of photos that offered a glimpse into her weekend. Among them: a mirror selfie flaunting her insanely toned abs, a clean and wholesome plate of rajma chawal with okra, and a white bowl of homemade seviyan, showing off her love for balanced indulgence. One of the photos also included a cute cat lounging in a lawn. Triptii's physical transformation and visible discipline seems to align perfectly with the major professional milestone she just bagged. News18 Showsha was the first to report the real reasons behind Deepika's ouster from Spirit, and why Triptii was quickly brought on board. 'There seems to be a deliberate attempt to control the narrative," a source close to the development told News18, pushing back against claims that Deepika exited the project to focus on work-life balance. 'The actress' perception team is struggling to come to terms with her replacement and is conveniently spinning her exit as a 'work-life balance' decision. But the reality is quite different." According to the insider, the decision was driven by significant professional differences. 'The actor had reportedly demanded Rs 25 crores for approximately 35 days of shoot, along with a 10% profit share, extensive entourage expenses, and even expressed unwillingness to deliver dialogues in Telugu—something the director felt strongly about. To top it off, confidential plot details from Spirit were allegedly leaked, which raised serious concerns among the producers," the source added. While Deepika Padukone's team has not responded to News18's request for comment, the casting switch has become a major industry talking point. First Published: June 09, 2025, 21:46 IST

'We often get shamed': Neha Dhupia supports Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand amid Sandeep Reddy Vanga row
Actor Deepika Padukone's reported exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit over the latter's refusal to an 8-hour shift has sparked a debate about work-life balance for the actors in the film industry. Now, actor Neha Dhupia has weighed in on the issue and spoken in support of Deepika's demands, especially as a working mother. (Also read: Rana Daggubati says Telugu cinema has 8-hour shift amid Deepika Padukone's exit from Spirit: 'Some actors work 4 hours') Although Deepika herself has not spoken about the issue yet, Neha took to her Instagram stories on Monday and posted a note tagging Deepika. In the note, the Singh is Kinng actor wrote, "For work-life balance to go beyond conversations, new moms need practical support and consideration. Instead, we often get shamed or sidelined. As a working mom, I support @deepikapadukone's reasonable request for fair and considerate working hours." Earlier, actor Ajay Devgn also supported Deepika on this matter and said, 'It's not that it's not going down well with people. Most of the honest filmmakers will not have problems with it. And apart from this, being a mother and working for eight hours, most people have started working eight-nine-hour shifts.' Director Mani Ratnam, in an interview with News 18, also gave his two cents on the matter and supported Deepika by saying that if one is in a position to seek such demands, then that is absolutely valid. 'I think it is a rightful demand. I'm glad she's in a position to ask for it. I think as a filmmaker, you will take that into consideration when you cast. It is not an unreasonable thing to ask, but an absolute necessity. I think that should be the priority. You have to acknowledge that, understand it and work around it.' For the uninitiated, after Deepika decided to exit Spirit, reports emerged that stated that Vanga rejected some of her demands, including an 8-hour shift, a share in the film's profits, and not speaking her dialogue in Telugu. Deepika has recently joined Atlee's Telugu film alongside Allu Arjun.
