Crunchyroll is thrilled to announce that Ali Fazal will be part of the Hindi voice cast for the highly anticipated anime adaptation of Solo Leveling.
The global debut of the anime, based on the Korean WEBTOON sensation, is scheduled for January 6, 2024, exclusively on Crunchyroll’s streaming platform.
Simultaneously, viewers can enjoy the Hindi-dubbed version, along with subtitles.
Ali Fazal will be lending his voice in Hindi to the character Song Chiyul, a Korean C-Rank Hunter.

Ali made his Hollywood debut in Furious 7.
His noteworthy performances in Death on the Nile with Gal Gadot and Kandahar with Gerard Butler further solidify his status as one of the prominent Indian actors in Hollywood.
