Rana in ‘Avengers’
Actor will lend his voice to Thanos in the Telugu version of the film
Actor Rana Daggubati has lent his voice to the character of Thanos for the Telugu version of Hollywood film Avengers: Infinity War.
Marvel Studios’ film, which features an ensemble of superheroes, will release in the UAE on April 26.
Disney India, in a move to expand its localisation efforts, has signed on Daggubati to lend his voice for the villain.
“I’ve grown up reading Marvel Comics and Marvel movies with 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,” Daggubati said in a statement.
“Characters such as Iron Man and Captain America have 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.
Bikram Duggal, executive director and head, studio entertainment, Disney India, said: “With Rana Daggubati coming on board as the voice of Thanos, we are confident of reaching out to a wider audience base while retaining the magnitude and staying true to the ethos of the Marvel brand.”
The film is releasing in India in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. —
