Some would argue that it was only a matter of time until Marvel’s mammoth success in Hollywood filtered across boarders, and sure enough, Stan Lee is taking his Chakra The Invincible character to Bollywood. Bet you didn’t see this coming.
Variety have broken the news that Graphic India and Stan Lee’s POW Entertainment have penned a deal with Phantom Films on the upcoming production. Speaking about the project, Lee said “I am really excited about launching ‘Chakra the Invincible’ as my first Bollywood superhero movie. Vikramaditya is an amazingly talented filmmaker who I have no doubt can make the Chakra film a massive hit in India and around the world. I only hope he remembers to include my cameo.”
That all-important cameo.
Vikramaditya Motwane will direct, as well as write the script alongside Lee and Graphic India’s Sharad Devarajan.
The story follows a boy called Raju, from the Indian city of Mumbai. He manages to get his hands on a suit that will harness the chakras in his body and give him his superpowers.
No release date for this one yet, but more on it as we get it. They better save the best dance scene for Stan.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
