Baahubali Star Rana Daggubati To Be A Part Of Avengers: Infinity War

Baahubali star Rana Daggubati has lent his voice to the character of Thanos for the Telugu version of Hollywood film Avengers: Infinity War. Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War, which features an ensemble of superheroes, will release worldwide on April 27.

Disney India, in a move to expand its localisation efforts, has signed on Rana to lend his voice for the villainous character.

“I’ve grown up reading Marvel Comics and Marvel movies with their intricately woven story-lines. 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.

“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.

“This year marks a milestone for 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 Entertainment, Disney India.
