Siddhant, Sanya enter 'Men in Black...' world

Actors Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sanya Malhotra have been roped to voice for the lead characters in the Hindi version of the Hollywood film "Men in Black: International".

Siddhant will be lending his voice to the character of Chris Hemsworth and Sanya will voice for Tessa Thompson's role.

"This cult franchise is a global phenomenon and has set a benchmark for sci-fi comedy films. I have been a fan of the films since childhood and extremely very happy to join the MIB family," Siddhant said in a statement.

"Chris Hemsworth is a global icon and I have been religiously following him since his superhero days. To voice for his character is a dream come true and I hope with this project, I manage to live up to audiences' expectations and sustain MIB's legacy in India," he added.

The action-adventure spin-off "Men in Black: International" introduces two new MIB members: Hemsworth as Agent H and Thompson as Agent M.

Sanya says she "has thoroughly enjoyed 'Men in Black' movies and have always been a huge fan of the stylish action and humour".

"I am very happy that I got the opportunity to voice for Tessa's character in 'Men In Black: International' and be a part of this franchise in my own special way. She is really headstrong and fierce, something I relate to. This has been a unique and challenging experience and I hope my fans will appreciate this new venture from me," she added.

Sony Pictures Entertainment India will release "Men In Black: International" in India on June 14 in Hindi, English, Tamil and Telugu.
