Gill is currently plying his trade in the IPL 2023 season for Gujarat Titans.
Apart from his impressive on-field prowess, Gill is also making a mark off the field. The young batter is all set to lend his voice to Indian Spider-Man in the upcoming animated movie “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”, the makers confirmed on Monday (May 8).
Gill, who is currently plying his trade in the IPL 2023 season for Gujarat Titans, said Spider-Man is “one of the most relatable superheroes”. He will voice the Hindi and Punjabi versions of the film.
“Since the movie will be debuting the Indian Spider-Man for the first time on screen, getting to be the voice of our Indian Spider-Man, Pavitr Prabhakar, in the Hindi and Punjabi languages was such a remarkable experience for me. Already, I feel superhuman. I am eagerly anticipating the release of this movie,” Shubman Gill said in a statement.
“June 2 will indeed be a momentous occasion for all Spider-Man fans across the country, and we are sure that everyone will shower the same love on this film as they did on ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’,” said Shony Panjikaran, General Manager and Head of Sony Pictures Releasing International (SPRI) India.
“We are so excited to collaborate with Shubman Gill, as he’s not only a youth icon but also a true hero, having represented our country so well in international cricket while enthralling millions of fans with his on-ground heroics,” Panjikaran added.
“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” will release on June 2 in as many as 10 languages – English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, Marathi, Punjabi and Bengali.
