Dubbing career

In 2007, Kishan's voice was used to dub Tobey Maguire's role as Spider-Man in the third film into Bhojpuri. This is the first Hollywood blockbuster film to include a Bhojupri voice dub, along with Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs. This caused Kishan to plan to create a superhero film of his own.[16]
