Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has expressed her thoughts that all superhero movies including Avengers series are actually inspired by Vedas.
Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has expressed her thoughts that all superhero movies including Avengers series are actually inspired by the Vedas.
A Veda is a collection of poems or hymns composed in archaic Sanskrit by Indo-European-speaking peoples who lived in northwest India during the 2nd millennium BCE. The hymns formed a liturgical body that in part grew up around the soma ritual and sacrifice and were recited or chanted during rituals, according to Britannica.
Kangana Ranaut made the statement during an interview which was quoted by different Indian media outlets.
Actor Kangana Ranaut in an interview said that there are many things that she would like to change about her younger self, one of them being the ‘weird replies’ that she used to give to journalists. She followed this up by claiming that The Avengers movies have been inspired by the Vedas.
She compared Iron Man’s armour to Karan’s armour in the mythological epic Mahabharata. Moreover, she found resemblance in Thor’s hammer to Hanuman wielding his ‘gada.

According to The Times of India, ‘the West borrows from our mythology a lot’. The superhero Thor, of course, is inspired by the Norse myths.
She said that the ‘visual perspective’ of superhero movies might be different, ‘but the origins of these superhero stories are hugely inspired by our Vedas’. She claimed that they’ve ‘acknowledged this fact, too’.
Likewise, Kangana said, she would also want to do something original. “Why be limited to inspiration from the West?” she asked.
Kangana will next be seen in the spy thriller Dhaakad, which she herself has often compared to the James Bond films. She said in the same interview that she had always wanted to do an action movie inspired by the Tomb Raider and Kill Bill films.
Recently, actor Siddhant Chaturvedi admitted that he deserved to be trolled for saying that working on his film Gehraiyaan was like working on a Marvel movie, Indian Express reported.
Dhaakad will be released in theatres on May 20, when it’ll clash at the box office with Kartik Aaryan-starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
The film arrives in theatres just two weeks after Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
