their intricately woven storylines. It is fascinating to see how Marvel has
created characters and stories that resonate so well with audiences across the
globe, making movies at a scale that one had never before imagined," Rana said
in a statement.

been my favourites. So dubbing for 'Avengers: Infinity War' was thrilling.
Voicing for Thanos, a villain so powerful that some of the biggest superheroes
have a tough time dealing with, was an exciting experience," added the actor,
who has finished dubbing for the movie.

the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it turns 10 and to add to the excitement, we
are releasing 'Avengers: Infinity War' - the biggest superhero crossover one has
ever seen," said Bikram Duggal, Executive Director and Head, Studio

anticipation around the movie, we are offering our fans in South India an

are confident of reaching out to a wider audience base while retaining the
magnitude and staying true to the ethos of the Marvel brand," Duggal said.
