Marvel's 'Eternals' Producer Explains Why Kumail Nanjiani Plays Bollywood Star In Marvel Movie

'Eternals' producer Nate Moore opened up about Kumail Nanjiani's character named Kingo in the highly anticipated Marvel movie and revealed the main reason why the character is a Bollywood star, Screen Rant reported.

"We like the notion of finding Kingo doing what he does best, which is act, so when we first meet him in the present day, you see a Bollywood performance," Moore told the outlet. "Bollywood means a lot of different things to different people, but they're just some ideas of how we can express that."

Moore also reflected on the idea of bringing the real Bollywood instead of showing Hollywood’s version of the Indian film industry.

"And truly bring Bollywood and not Hollywood version of Bollywood to people, and find again, people who make up Bollywood movies and have them consult and talk about how they would shoot things, how they would do things," he noted, according to the Screen Rant report.

Recently, Nanjiani also spoke about his body transformation for "Eternals" after his shirtless photo went viral in 2019.

Speaking with GQ on Oct. 7, the Pakistani-American actor noted that he feels "very uncomfortable" talking about his body. However, he also stated that this body transformation was completely his decision and director Chloé Zhao had to stop him from getting more buffed.

"Chloé got a little upset at me for getting in shape," he said with a pause, adding, "I shouldn't say ‘getting in shape.’ For changing my body to look a certain way."

The 43-year-old actor shared the first look of his body transformation in December 2019.

"I never thought I’d be one of those people who would post a thirsty shirtless, but I’ve worked way too hard for way too long so here we are," he captioned the photo.

The star-studded movie also features Angelina Jolie as Thena, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Salma Hayek as Ajak and Kit Harington as Black Knight.

"Eternals" will be the third movie in the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The action-adventure is slated to release on Nov. 5. Marvel will also release the highly anticipated movie, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" on Dec. 17.
