Vivek Oberoi will be the voice of the main villain Max Dillon aka Electro in the Hindi version of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Oscar winning actor Jamie Foxx plays the character in the original version. Said Kercy Daruwala, MD Sony Pictures India, “We are very happy to have Vivek on board for the Hindi version of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The Hindi version is a large part of our box office and it’s a very important role that Vivek will be playing in its success. In the past Vivek has played a villain so brilliantly and is already a familiar face in the genre. Kids in particular love him.” Confirming the same, Vivek said he agreed to dub for the voice of Electro because he has been a huge fan of the web-casting superhero. “I will be Electro’s voice in the Hindi version of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. I have always been a huge fan of the Spider-Man comics and films. Max Dillon/Electro is an immensely fascinating and complex character and it will be interesting to have a faceoff with Spider-Man.” The actor has already begun dubbing for the character. Last time we saw Vivek in a negative role was for Krrish 3. The film, that stars Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man and Emma Stone as his lady love, will release in India on 1 May (2014).
