The Umbrella Academy is a popular Netflix series that is based on superheroes and a fantasy world. The premise of the show is based on a bunch of seven children born simultaneously without their mothers going into labour. They all had superhuman abilities and were adopted by an eccentric billionaire. He numbered them rather than giving them names and called them, The Umbrella Academy. After a fateful turn of events, this band of dysfunctional siblings are forced to battle an imminent apocalypse. If The Umbrella Academy is remade in Bollywood, here’s a list of actors who seem perfect for the roles.

Vanya- Anushka Sharma

He has the ability to jump through time and space. He is the one who comes back from the future to warn his siblings of the imminent apocalypse that they have to stop. However, returning back in time causes an anomaly in making him turn back into his 13-year-old self. An actor who seems to get younger and younger, Shahid Kapoor seems just the person to essay this character on screen.
