Vikramaditya Motwane: Adapting 'Chakra' for big screen would be challenging

Director Vikramadiya Motwane, who is heading for the big screen adaptation of 'Chakra: The Invincible', said since India doesn't have a superhero culture, it will be a little difficult to transport into that world. 'Chakra: The Invincible' is the first Indian superhero created by comics legend Stan Lee.
"We don't have a superhero culture. Comic books and superheroes are part of American culture.We have 'Amar Chitrakatha' etc. It's difficult to transport into alien culture of your own and to make a film on superheroes when you don't have a base for that," Motwane said.
"Also in a lot of our superhero films, things are borrowed, I think audience can smell that. All the superhero films around the world are same so how do we compete with a 'Spider-Man' film, is a challenge," he said.
Motwane, who has so far directed films such as 'Udaan', 'Lootera' and 'Trapped', said the competition of superhero genre is worldwide. "It is going to be a challenge for us but we will give our best. It (Indian version) is in development. It won't go on floors this year, it will be next year only."
