Kangana Ranaut Thinks Avengers Are Inspired By Mahabharat And Vedas, Compares Thor To Hanumanji

Remember when actor Aditya Seal had compared his movie Student Of The Year 2 with Avengers: Endgame and he was trolled massively for the same? The frenzy around superhero movies is witnessed across the globe. Even in India, Marvel and DC movies cause havoc at the box office. Despite movies like Krrish being made, India still hasn't produced a superhero that gives competition to the western superhero movies.

Amid the trilogy on Shaktiman and Brahamastra (which has also been compared to Avengers) being made, Kangana Ranaut has said that she thinks Avengers had an Indian connection as they were inspired by Mahabharat and Vedas.

Explaining the same, Kangana Ranaut compared Thor with Hanumanji and Iron Man with Karna.

"When I look at their superheroes like Iron Man, I feel his armour can be related to Karna's armour from Mahabharata, Thor wielding the hammer can be compared to Hanumanji and his gada (mace)," she told ETimes.

Furthermore, she added, "I felt that The Avengers was also inspired by the Mahabharata. Their visual perspective is different, but the origins of these superhero stories are hugely inspired by our Vedas. They acknowledge this fact, too."

Meanwhile, Marvel was recently accused of copying from Mahabharat.

A Reddit user pointed out that the background score of the Marvel series Moon Knight has been copied from the Indian TV epic series Mahabharat. He attached both the clips one after the other and emphasised that the theme music of both was similar to each other.

Talking about the Indian connection to Hollywood movies, producer Peter Radar had told The Guardian in 2014, "Look at the first Matrix movie. It¡¯s a yogic movie. It says that this world is an illusion. It¡¯s about maya ¨C that if we can cut through the illusions and connect with something larger we can do all sorts of things. Neo achieves the abilities of the advanced yogis [Paramahansa] Yogananda (Peter's directorial) described, who can defy the laws of normal reality. A lot of people know that if we quieten down we can tap into a deeper power. And the movies that tap into that, like Star Wars and Interstellar, are hugely popular."

For the unversed, earlier, fans had pointed out how Shang-Chi copied a scene frame-by-frame from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani.
