MUMBAI TECHIE IN SPIDER-MAN SEQUEL
Irrfan was the Indian connect in The Amazing Spider-Man, and the film’s sequel now stars another Indian actor, debutant Prashant Rai.
Prashant was working as a software engineer in Mumbai when the acting bug bit him. Three years ago, he went to New York to train in acting, ending up in the big-budget franchise after an audition. He says, “Coming from a small place like Bokaro in Jharkhand and not having acted before, it feels awesome. Frankly, it’s not a big role, but if I compare it with some other Indian actors in Hollywood films, who have done minutelong hyped roles, it’s a big achievement.”
Says Prashant, “My role is that of a tourist who is caught in the fight between Spider-Man and the villain Electro, played by Jamie Foxx.”
