So proud to see Adarsh Gourav representing India in Hollywood! After his brilliant performance in The White Tiger, I knew he'd go places. Can't wait to see him in this sci-fi avatar. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Interesting casting! Though I wish they'd given him a more substantial character name than "Slightly" - sounds like a sidekick role. Hope the writers do justice to his talent.

Another Alien franchise? Hope this doesn't end up being just another cash grab. But Adarsh's involvement gives me hope - he always chooses quality projects. The tactical outfit looks badass though! 🔥

First Dev Patel, now Adarsh Gourav - our actors are making waves internationally! But when will Hollywood move beyond casting Indians as techies or side characters? Still, baby steps are better than no steps.

Excited for this! The cast looks diverse and interesting. Though I hope Adarsh gets proper screen time and isn't just there for token representation. His acting in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan was so nuanced.

August 12 is marked on my calendar! The Alien franchise has been hit or miss, but with Noah Hawley involved (Fargo was brilliant), this could be special. Adarsh is in good company with this cast.
