“I would definitely borrow the Indian approach.i feel the West borrows from our Mythology a lot” Kangana Ranaut said in the interview. Comparing Iron Man’s armour with Karan’s armour in the mythological epic Mahabharata, and Thor’s hammer to Hanuman wielding his “Gada”, Kangana told The Times of Inda that “the West borrows from our mythology a lot”. The super hero, Thor, of course, is inspired by the Norse myths.

The actress highly believed that the “visuals perspective” of superhero movies might be different, “but the origins of these super hero stories are hugely inspired by our Vedas”. She went on to claim that they have “acknowledged this fact, too”

Thor is actually a god from Norse mythology similar to Hindu mythology’s Indra. Every culture have quite similar mythology and folklore. India is not only ancient country
