Mumbai: After Spiderman decided to speak in Bhojpuri, it has inspired a brand new Bhojpuri superhero. Voicing for Toby Maguire has inspired the Bhojpuri star, Ravi Kissen, to don the superhero's robe himself!

“I am making a Spiderman in Bhojpuri with CG and best technicians and good cameraman. It is called Bajrangi, the Bhojpuri Spiderman,” said Kissen.

No Kryptons and no spider web powers, as the name suggests, the Bhojpuri superhero's source of power will be Hindu God Hanuman.

“He had polio in his leg. He’s the same guy who used to be beaten by villagers and neighbours and heroines didn’t love him. One fine day he wants to commit suicide and goes to Hanumanji's temple in the night. And then he gets into him, he gets the power and becomes Bajrangi,” explains Kissen.

Bajrangi will fight the goons and evil guys of the society. And if you are wondering who will be Bajrangi's Mary Jane. Well, our guess is it should be none other than Nagma. After all, she's played the supergirl to the hilt many times!
