Back in 2011, Marvel's former president Stan Lee created his first Indian
superhero, Chakra the Invincible, and now just three years later, the comic
legend has decided to bring the character to life, and his developing a
live-action adaptation in the biggest film industry in the world, Bollywood.
The project is being developed by Lee's POW! Entertainment and the Graphic
India, and meetings between the production companies and directors, writers and
producers are taking place.
Pre-production Is scheduled to begin in early 2015 with production expected
to begin by the end of the year or early 2016.
"We’ve set up some great meetings already with some of
the most amazingly talented actors and directors in Indian cinema and I have no
doubt that these individuals will help make the Chakra film a massive hit in
India and around the globe," said Lee in a statement.
From the mind of legendary creator Stan Lee comes his
newest superhero. Chakra tells the story of Raju Rai, a young Indian orphan
living in Mumbai. Determined to use science to unlock the secrets of human
potential, Raju and his mentor, the genius scientist Dr. Singh, develop a
technological suit that activates the mystical Chakras of the body, unleashing
superhuman abilities and powers. Convinced that none must know of his new
super-powered identity, Raju gives his new, mighty avatar a name, one that will
represent everything he is and can ever hope to be, one that will resonate
throughout the world and have the dramatic effect of bringing fear into the
hearts of evildoers - CHAKRA, The Invincible! Using his amazing powers, Chakra
must save the city of Mumbai and the world from supervillains.
