Away is a popular American web series which belongs to the sci-fi genre. It premiered on Netflix on September 4. The plot of the show is based on an Astronaut who has to leave behind her husband and daughter so as to take command of an international space crew. Together, they go on a dangerous, 3-year mission to space. If this show is remade in Bollywood with an Indian cast, here’s a list of actor who seems ideal for the roles.

Emma Green - Priyanka Chopra

Matt Logan- Abhishek Bachchan

He is the husband of Emma Green. He also works in NASA with Emma as an engineer for her mission at NASA’s Mission Control Centre situated at Houston. Although he had tried to become an astronaut like his wife, due to a disease called cerebral cavernous malformation, he was denied the position. Being a good actor, Abhishek Bachchan seems just the person for this role.
