Director Vikramadiya Motwane, who is heading for the big screen adaptation of "Chakra: The Invincible", says since India doesn't have a superhero culture, it will be a little difficult to transport into that world.
	"Chakra: The Invincible" is the first Indian superhero created by comics legend Stan Lee.
	According to reports, Anurag Kashyap's Phantom Films has teamed up with Lee's POW! Entertainment and Graphic India for the project that Motwane will direct.
	"We don't have a superhero culture. Comic books and superheroes are part of American culture. We have 'Amar Chitrakatha' etc. It's difficult to transport into alien culture of your own and to make a film on superheroes when you don't have a base for that," Motwane told PTI.
	"Also in a lot of our superhero films, things are borrowed, I think audience can smell that. All the superhero films around the world are same so how do we compete with a 'Spider-Man' film, is a challenge," he says.

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has unveiled two politically charged new songs, "England Lost" and "Get a Grip."
	The 74-year-old rocker wrote the songs, which features Skepta, in April.
	Jagger says the tracks are a response to the "confusion and frustration with the times we live in" and the result of anxiety, "unknowability" of the changing political situation, reported Rolling Stone magazine.
	"It's always refreshing to get creative in a different fashion and I feel a slight throwback to a time when you could be a bit more free and easy by recording on the hoof and putting it out there immediately," he says.
	"I didn't want to wait until next year when these two tracks might lose any impact and mean nothing."
