There is a lot of excitement surrounding Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse. The film is directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson. While audiences eagerly await the Spider-Man mania in the film. As Indian audiences celebrate the arrival of Pavitr Prabhakar, the first ever Indian Spider-man, Karan Soni who voiced Pavitr Prabhakar in the original film said how people reached out to him to not mess it up.
Speaking about people’s response to him voicing Pavitr Prabhakar and the film being dubbed in nine Indian languages, Karan Soni shared, “I think it’s so exciting that the movie is being dubbed in nine Indian languages. It’s just very exciting because I grew up in India, and we absolutely love Spider-Man. When it was announced that I was playing him, I cannot tell you how many messages I got from people. Firstly, they were just excited, and then there were a few more serious messages, saying mainly, ‘Don’t mess this up.’ I don’t think we did!”
The makers had recently announced that the Hindi and Punjabi version of the film will have Indian Cricketer Shubman Gill’s voice, Pavitr Prabhakar.
