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
She is an American astronaut who has been asked to command the international space crew for a 3-years mission to space. Played by Hilary Swank in the Hollywood version, Priyanka Chopra might be ideal to essay this role in an Indian version. She is known for her great acting abilities and being an amazing combination of beauty with brains.

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.
