Actor Kareena Kapoor is all set to voice the Marvel character Black Widow for the Hindi adaptation of Marvel audio series ‘Wastelanders’. In a recent interview with news agency PTI, the actor spoke about her Audible podcast series and the collaboration between the Hollywood and Bollywood industry.
She revealed that she doesn't mind sharing the screen with Ryan Gosling. Kareena said she is honoured that Indian actors are getting the opportunity to be working in Hollywood. She added that she isn’t looking for work in Hollywood as her children-Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan-are still young‘
People from here are going to Hollywood, hoping that a lot of actors from the west would come here, we would be equally honoured and excited. I don’t mind working with Ryan Gosling. I never wanted to do a film in Hollywood. I am too rooted here. My babies are too young, I got married and everything happened so fast. Now, it is impossible to leave them. But, Marvel comes here,’ Kareena told PTI.
Talking about lending her voice, Kareena said, ‘They (makers) cast our voice at the same time because I remember telling Saif, 'I am offered Black Widow' and he was like, 'You have to do it because you are the perfect Black Widow and there is no one else who could dub it'. I kept reading about her character and figured that I was resonating with it a lot. Saif has already lent his voice for his character. We are very excited about it. These characters are going to be Indian and are going to be owned by Indian actors through their voice, which everyone across India and globe will be hearing.’
The Hindi Audible Original podcast show was originally launched as an English-language series in June 2021. It is made up of six seasons — Marvel’s Wastelanders: Star-Lord, Marvel’s Wastelanders: Hawkeye, Marvel’s Wastelanders: Black Widow, Marvel’s Wastelanders: Wolverine, Marvel’s Wastelanders: Doom and Marvel’s Wastelanders, which will culminate the series with an epic finale.
Kareena Kapoor has three projects in her pipeline including ‘The Crew’ with Tabu and Kriti Sanon, a Sujoy Ghosh-directed thriller, and a murder mystery by Hansal Mehta.
