Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse TV spot introduces India’s Pavitr Prabhakar who lives in Mumbattan, loves Maya Aunty but doesn’t like people saying ‘chai-tea’

The upcoming Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse introduces the audiences to a whole range of Spider-Man across the Multiverse with more iterations of Marvel’s iconic hero. One of those Spider-Man is our own true-blue Indian hero Pavitr Prabhakar, who is the subject of a brand new TV spot, which was shared by a fan. Residing on Earth-50101, Pavitra hails from Mumbattan, a quirky update on Mumbai, hates the term ‘chai tea’ and meets up with Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy aka Spider-Woman. Deadpool’s Karan Soni is voicing Pavitr Prabhakar in the English version, while cricketer Shubman Gill is voicing the character for the Hindi and Punjabi versions.

The clip shows Pavitr’s first meeting with Miles and Gwen and gives a small introduction about himself where he talks about the Indian traffic and says, “Being Spider-Man is so easy! I fight a few bad guys, take a quick break for chai with my Maya Aunty..." When Miles says he too loves 'chai tea', Pavitr is disgusted. He replies, “What did you just say? Chai tea!! Chai means tea. You're saying 'tea tea'!”
