The article mentioned that some may consider the deities to be “a Hindu version of the Avengers.”

“Very clearly comes from a different cultural place than all the other stories we’ve told before. … And for kids who come from these backgrounds to see themselves on screen, it’s exciting for us,” said Patel.
