Earlier this year, speaking at the World Audio Visual Entertainment Summit, producer Namit Malhotra said, "The way we want to go about it is to make it feel local to people in the world. Again, with the use of some technology, we are trying to make sure that we will be able to localise the film in languages with performance, which means that it should play in English with lip sync without subtitles or dubbed versions, because it should be in English. It should be in Spanish; it should be in Japanese in Japan."
Furthermore, he had revealed that, with the help of technology, turning big ideas into reality is possible. He shared that their main goal is to tell compelling stories while staying true to the characters and keeping things as real as possible. At the same time, he stressed the importance of making movies in a way that global audiences do not feel uncomfortable or disconnected.
