As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for talent and a deep appreciation for cross-cultural storytelling, I am genuinely excited about the prospect of Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan bringing their magic to an Indian live-action version of Moana and Maui. Their on-screen chemistry is not just loved by fans but is akin to a well-aged wine that only improves with time.

In 2024, Moana 2, the follow-up to the 2016 American animated film Moana, is scheduled for release in Indian cinemas on November 29th. The General Technical Director of the movie, Norman Joseph, has expressed his opinions regarding potential casting for an Indian live-action adaptation. He finds Alia Bhatt as Moana and Varun Dhawan as Maui to be a suitable pairing.

During an interview with News18 Showsha, the General Technical Director of Moana 2, Norman Joseph, mentioned that they would take into account the characters’ ages when deciding on names for an Indian adaptation of the Disney movie, since Maui is older than Moana in the original story.

Regarding the numerous excellent choices, he added, “However, I’m having a hard time singling out particular names due to the sheer number of fantastic options.” When Norman was asked if he could envision Alia Bhatt as Moana and Varun Dhawan as Maui, he concurred, expressing his agreement by saying, “Well, I suppose that would be a reasonable pick.

Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson are set to reprise their roles as Moana and Maui in the upcoming sequel, Moana 2. Additionally, the cast includes Rose Matafeo, David Fane, Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda, Temuera Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger, Rachel House, Gerald Ramsey, and others. This musical journey will be helmed by directors David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller.

At present, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan have a number of interesting upcoming projects. To be precise, Alia is currently filming for her movie Alpha, which belongs to YRF Spy Universe, as well as Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic Love & War. Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan is preparing for the release of Baby John and also has several other films lined up on his schedule such as Border 2, No Entry 2, Bhediya 2, and Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.

Alia and Varun are among Bollywood’s most beloved on-screen duos, having first appeared together in Student of the Year in 2012. Their partnership continued in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, both part of the Dulhania series. They recently shared the screen in Kalank as well. The public adores their on-screen chemistry and eagerly anticipates their next joint project.
