One among the brown actors breathing life into Marvel’s first Pakistani superhero series, Gingger Shankar has lent her music skills to the making of a track for the series, Ms Marvel. Evidently, as an Indian artiste collaborating with young Pakistani rapper Eva B for the making of Rozi, Shankar says she counts herself among a group of women successfully putting people of colour on the pedestal with this MCU offering.
“The depiction [of this superhero] was important. So many people I admire, including Sana Amanat, and Meera Menon, who directed the pilot episode, are associated with the project. I had met Eva B before the pandemic to discuss a collaboration. But during the pandemic, everyone disappeared. When we reconnected a while ago, we started working on some songs. I have been blown away by her presence, as a performer. We made a song, sent it out to a few friends, and the next thing we know is that we’re in talks for Ms Marvel. This is the first series on a Pakistani superhero, and she is a Pakistani rapper. It just made sense to [be part of the project],” says Shankar, adding that they collaborated on English and Urdu creations.
