The collaboration was unveiled through a special promotional video released by Sony Pictures on its official social media platforms. The video, captioned "Rishab Shetty entering Peter Parker's world was not on anyone's bingo card...", features the 'Kantara' star unexpectedly crossing paths with Spider-Man before delving into his profound admiration for the character.
Shetty recalled his early experiences, saying, “I still remember watching Spider-Man for the first time in a single-screen theatre many years ago and instantly connecting with Peter Parker. He has always reminded me that it's okay to stumble, make mistakes, and even experience heartbreak, as long as we never lose the goodness within us.”
He emphasised the timeless relevance of Spider-Man's most famous lesson, adding, "Spider-Man also teaches us that with great power comes great responsibility, and that lesson stays relevant no matter how old you are." The actor also shared that his children are equally enthusiastic, having already made him book tickets for a family outing to watch 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' on the big screen.
