Interest in the upcoming movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has skyrocketed since the trailer was released. After the enormous success of Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021, fans are excited to return to the Spider-Man universe. This time is particularly special for India because our very own Indian Spider-Man, Pavitr Prabhakar, makes his debut on the big screen.

The Hindi and Punjabi versions of the film will feature cricketer Shubman Gill’s voice, which will make Pavitr’s character even more special for Indian viewers. With his batting prowess, the cricketer has been quite the draw for cricket fans, and as Pavitr Prabhakar in the film, he is now prepared to win over cricket fans across India.

Shubman says, “I have grown up watching Spider-Man, and he is one of the most relatable superheroes. Since the movie will be debuting the Indian Spider-Man for the first time on screen, getting to be his voice in Hindi and Punjabi languages was a remarkable experience for me. Already, I feel superhuman. I am eagerly anticipating the release ofthis movie.”
