Kumail Nanjiani in Eternals

The Marvel film Eternals is nearing its theatrical release in India. The film had a screening in Los Angeles and has already been receiving a great response. The highlight of the film is the diversity it showcases with its exciting team of superheroes. One of the most talked-about characters in the film has been Kumail Nanjiani's Kingo, who plays the role of a Bollywood hero alongside showcasing his self-professed superpower of finger guns.

Now, to add much excitement for the fans, a clip from the film has been released recently showing Kumail in the Bollywood avatar. The Eternals clip by Good Morning America shows him as a lead hero in a Bollywood film with an elaborate dance sequence. But he soon announces cut and the filming ends. It shows Kingo excited to see fellow Eternals Ikaris (Richard Madden), Sprite (LiaMcHugh), and Sersi (Gemma Chan) who were waiting to talk to him. The clip introduces Kingo's manager Karun (Harish Patel). Kingo is seen sharing how Karun initially thought he was a vampire and tried driving a wooden stake through his heart. He then takes them to his dressing room where Ikaris tells him that evil Deviants have returned. Kingo's happy-go-lucky face soon turns deadly serious.

The producer Nate Moore had earlier told screenrant that the idea for Kumail's character was conceptualised due to Kingo's own skillset. The creative team jumped at the opportunity and decided to bring Bollywood to the MCU. Moore said: "When we first meet him in the present day, you see a Bollywood performance - and Bollywood means a lot of different things to different people, but they're just some ideas of how we can express that and truly bring Bollywood to people and not its Hollywood version." This and the clip have only gotten the expectations of fans, especially Indian fans, high.

Directed by Chloé Zhao, the film stars Kumail along with Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee, Harish Patel, Kit Harington, Salma Hayek, and Angelina Jolie. The film is about the almost immortal Eternals who have been inhabiting Earth for over 7,000 years secretly to protect mankind from the evil forces.

The film will hit theatres on November 5 in India.
