The partnership between Fergus, Ostby, and Devarajan is a testament to the shared passion and vision they bring to ‘Shadow Tiger.’ Devarajan praised the duo’s work on Iron Man for its cinematic impact and global reach, making them the perfect fit to bring his character to life on the big screen. With Fergus and Ostby’s track record of success, the project is poised to make a significant mark in the world of superhero storytelling.
Devarajan’s history of creating iconic Indian superheroes, such as Pavitr Prabhakar and Chakra the Invincible, underscores his dedication to diverse representation in the genre.
