Fancasting a Shapeshifter

While waiting out my writer’s block, I’m fan-casting my overly large list of characters, and now there’s this guy;

Arlan Blythe hails from a magical bloodline of Karanda (asiatic inspired kingdom), and in exile uses his shape altering abilities to act as spy for a young queen of a foreign country. While on a quest to save the world, he meets Nina Vega, the assassin known as La Llorona. The two fall in love, and as an espionage power couple, save the land.

I decided to look at Indian actors, and came up with two goofy heartthrobs that I think would be able to balance gravitas and a quippy demeanor. Who do you pick?
