In the past, people have had to watch content in the language it was produced in. However, with the use of subtitles and dubbing, it is easier than ever to watch content in your native language. The language gap has greatly shrunk. The ability to understand subtitles, however, is not universal.
With Ms Marvel, Farhan Akhtar just made his international OTT debut. He has also supported work that has been made available globally through OTT platforms.
The actor claimed as that because superior syntax, nuance, and humour are comprehended, everyone has a strong emotional connection to their mother tongue. Sometimes, in the language of the content, a single phrase can more effectively convey motives, intentions, or feelings.?
But Akhtar contends that when one chooses to engage with people outside, one must don a new hat and adopt a somewhat different perspective. It doesn't upset Alexander the Great or the Romans to watch an English-language movie about them, despite the fact that they never learned English. It seems completely natural and usual to consume it all in English. They must get beyond this challenge on their own.
He further stated, However, The Avengers were able to communicate with the general population in this way regardless of one's level of linguistic proficiency. It didn't matter if the viewer could speak English or not. One was compelled to read the material for some reason. Generating that experience is essential to them as content creators, and language comes much later.
As a member of the Red Dagger in the newest season of Ms Marvel, Farhan made his MCU debut as Waleed. The series was well received on the internet. Several fans voiced their dissatisfaction with the amount of time given to his character on screen.
On the work front, he will be directing, a female-focused road trip movie 'Jee Le Zara' with Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles. Also, there have been rumours of him working on the screenplay for his upcoming project Don.
