Superman director James Gunn loves retro clip of Govinda dancing as Superman, calls it ‘the best'
Warner Bros India shared a video on Instagram on Thursday evening. "In this special video, director James Gunn, along with David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, shares a heartfelt message for audiences in India," read the caption.
James Gunn and David Corenswet address Indian fans
The video opened with James Gunn sharing a message for the Indian fans of Superman. "I'm really appreciative of the Indian fans. I can't wait for them to see Superman because this really is a movie for the world, and everyone and all the people of India," he said. The film's lead, David Corenswet added, 'Anyone who is excited about Superman is really gonna love this movie.'
James Gunn on Govinda as Superman
A few weeks ago, James Gunn shared a meme featuring a screengrab of Govinda dressed as Superman, a visual from the 1988 film Dariya Dil. As the host brought it up, James Gunn laughed and said, "I love that. It's the best!" The Govinda visual is from the song Tu Mera Superman, which is picturised on the actor and Kimi Katkar, Dariya Dil's female lead. While not a big hit when it released, it has gained popularity over the last few years due to Govinda's amateurishly bizarre Superman costume. Kimi was dressed in a Spider-Man costume in the song.
David Corenswet ended the video asking the viewers from India to 'look up' on July 11 and catch Superman in theatres.

India – Business Wire India Max Fashion, one of India's leading multinational fashion brands, makes a historic shift by naming its first-ever male brand ambassador: actor and cultural trendsetter Siddhant Chaturvedi. The new campaign, 'How New Is Your New?', is fronted by actor and cultural trendsetter Siddhant Chaturvedi. Known for his effortless style and ability to connect with a generation that values both individuality and cultural edge, Siddhant perfectly embodies the energy and edge that Max stands for. This collaboration is more than a seasonal campaign, it's a statement of intent. Max brings fashion inspiration to millions, with fresh styles arriving every single week, keeping pace with how quickly trends evolve and personal style transforms. Beyond Siddhant's mass appeal and Gen Z connect, he brings an edge that aligns with young Indians who live at the intersection of music, movement, and style. With Kalki Koechlin, Alaya F, and now Siddhant Chaturvedi in the mix, the brand has assembled a trio that speaks to the layered, lived-in, and scroll-savvy side of modern India. Kalki brings depth and individuality, Alaya channels the fearless energy of Gen Z, and Siddhant adds a fresh, young ease to the equation. Together, they mirror a generation that can move from a coffee run to a red carpet, from tradition to trend, with equal confidence. A Brand-New Max for a Brand-New India This campaign is more than a creative refresh. It's Max rewriting its own rules. With Siddhant as the face of the brand, Max is signalling a shift in both energy and intent. It's younger. It's sharper. 'Style today is about evolution, I'm not the same guy on set, at the gym, or hanging out with friends,' says Siddhant Chaturvedi. "'How New Is Your New?' makes you think about that shift, and Max captures it perfectly with collections that keep up with you, not the other way around. Fashion now is like your feed, it keeps evolving and Max has that scroll factor, with something new for every version of you.' The 'How New Is Your New?' is designed for activities that stretches from on-point athleisure to weekend escapes, Max's latest drop makes everyday dressing an act of self-expression. 'Our partnership with Siddhant is a natural fit,' says Sumit Chandna, Deputy CEO of Max Fashion. 'He represents a confident, creative, and forward-moving India, the same qualities we celebrate in our customers. 'How New Is Your New?' is our way of giving them the freedom to reinvent their look as often as they want, with fresh styles curated specially for them every week.'
