Ali Fazal Attends Solo Leveling Anime's Indian Premiere Screening

Crunchyroll hosted its premiere screening for the first two episodes of the anime of writer Chugong and the late artist DUBU's (REDICE Studio) Solo Leveling manhwa on Wednesday. The screening was followed by an interview with Ali Fazal Anupama Chopra and Suchin Mehrotra as well an an audience Q&A session.

Ali Fazal portrays the character of Song Chiyul in the anime. He spoke about the anime at the premiere event:

I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to provide the Hindi dub for Solo Leveling. I aspire to forge deeper connections with the world of anime, particularly in the realms of artistic creation and exploration of different facets of our world.

Preparing for the Hindi dub role posed both a challenge and a source of immense excitement. Delving into the character's backstory was crucial for me to comprehend the nuances of the role and determine the appropriate voice texture. Portraying Song Chiyul, a senior character, required a careful blend of my voice. This was a unique experience that fueled my curiosity to delve deeper into the craft.

Collaborating with Crunchyroll and immersing myself in the anime world has been a fresh and thrilling experience for me.

The anime will get a Hindi simuldub and will debut on January 6.

The manhwa adaptation of Chugong's Solo Leveling novel series, with illustrations by DUBU, launched on Webtoon services in March 2018 and ended in December 2021. Yen Press publishes the manhwa and original novel series in English. Kadokawa publishes the manhwa in Japanese under the title Ore Dake Level-Up na Ken (I'm the Only One Who Has Leveled Up).

The manhwa is also inspiring a Korean live-action adaptation.
