Mohan Kapur talked about the wild culture shock he faced working on the Marvel show. The actor, who played Yusuf Khan in Ms. Marvel, compared his Hollywood set experience to how things work back home. He found the American production deeply disciplined and totally heartening, especially seeing women handling seriously heavy technical gear, something that genuinely surprised him. He shared this on a podcast with Pooja Bhatt.
He described the set as a well-oiled machine where everyone, with a limited crew due to Covid, knew their exact job and stuck to it. Kapur recalled a specific instance where an executive producer made the director formally log a one-hour camera delay, highlighting an accountability he feels is missing in India. This mirrored a weird supermarket encounter where a worker refused to help him, citing tasks above his pay grade. Kapur pointed out that this strict role adherence defined the professional environment.
Even as the most senior actor alongside Zenobia Shroff, he constantly asked his younger co-stars for feedback, worried his performance style from India might not fit. His character is unique in the Marvel universe, appearing across three different projects: Ms. Marvel, The Marvels, and Daredevil: Born Again. Kapur called the whole journey surreal, admitting he never dared to dream of being on a Marvel red carpet, but he is happily living that reality now. The series stars Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, with a large supporting cast including Matt Lintz, Yasmeen Fletcher, and Saagar Shaikh.
