Film producer Jon Landau says he finds India’s culture and diversity astonishing and is looking forward to releasing his upcoming venture Avatar: The Way Of Water in the country in six languages.

Directed by celebrated filmmaker James Cameron, Avatar: The Way Of Water is scheduled to be released in India on December 16 in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Landau expressed his love for India in a Twitter post and launched the Kannada trailer of the much-anticipated sci-fi movie.

“Namaste India! I see you. Your diversity continues to amaze me. I am so excited for you to experience #AvatarTheWayOfWater in 6 languages – English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. Let’s celebrate the return to Pandora on 16th Dec,” he wrote.

Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water tells the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.

Avatar: The Way of Water will be released in India by 20th Century Studios.

HBO criticised for sidelining South Asian identity in 'Harry Potter' casting controversy

HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot is already under fire, this time for casting Italian actress Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, a character rooted in Indian culture. The announcement has triggered widespread backlash from fans who accuse the makers of side-lining authentic South Asian representation in favour of what many see as surface-level diversity.

Parvati, originally portrayed by Shefali Chowdhury in the films, is one of the few explicitly Indian characters in the Harry Potter universe. The decision to cast someone with no clear Indian heritage has led to heated discussions across platforms like Reddit and X, with fans calling out what they perceive as performative inclusivity.

Harvey Weinstein sexual crimes trial turns ugly due to jurors' infighting

The tense deliberations in Harvey Weinstein’s New York sex crimes retrial have descended into open conflict.

This internal strife forced the jury foreperson to urgently alert the judge on Monday morning about a “situation which isn’t very good”, casting serious doubt on their ability to reach a fair verdict.
