Loki features Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson in lead roles. Loki premiered today on Disney+ Hotstar. However, it is not available in the regional languages, Tamil and Telugu, as originally promised.

According to the makers Loki's Tamil and Telugu dubs have been postponed. The makers have also not provided fans with an explanation for the delay, only stating that Loki will be released “soon” in Tamil and Telugu. Taking to their Twitter handle, the makers wrote, "Loki’s tricks might have changed it's time — but we've got all our Tamil and Telugu fans covered! Marvel Studios' Loki will be coming soon in Tamil and Telugu, watch this space for more updates. #Loki". A few reports also suggest that the current Covid-19 restrictions in India have caused a delay in dubbing. As a result, recording vocal talents and the post-production work required to edit them into Loki episodes is difficult. Take a look at their recent tweet below.
