In a recent conversation with ETimes, Kangana Ranaut was asked if she would be willing to take an Indian mythological approach when it came to playing a superhero. While replying to this, Kangana drew comparisons between The Avengers and Hindu mythology, Mahabharta.
“I would definitely adopt the Indian approach. I feel the West borrows from our mythology a lot. When I look at their superheroes like Iron Man, I feel his armour can be related to Karan’s armour from Mahabharata, Thor wielding the hammer can be compared to Hanumanji and his gada (mace). I felt that The Avengers was also inspired by the Mahabharata. Their visual perspective is different, but the origins of these superhero stories are hugely inspired by our Vedas. They acknowledge this fact, too. Likewise, I would also want to do something original and why be limited to a via inspiration from the West”, Kangana Ranaut said.
