The Four Color Media Monitor

India Today tells of a Bollywood performer who was seen giving a comic to a young fan, that appears to be based on one of his movies:

Sidharth Malhotra is not just a Bollywood heartthrob, but is also known for his kind nature. Recently, after a promotional event for his upcoming film 'Yodha', the actor was seen handing a special gift to a little fan. He was clicked at the Mumbai airport gifting a child a 'Yodha' comic book.

In a video shared by a paparazzo account, Sidharth Malhotra is seen walking out of the airport. A crowd of fans gathers in large numbers to catch a glimpse of the 'Yodha' actor. Meanwhile, a child approaches him for a selfie. Sidharth graciously obliges, then takes a copy of the 'Yodha' comic book and passes it on to the boy.

Well that's definitely nice of him. And interesting how, even in India's film industry, they appear to have some adaptations from movie to comic book. Now if only Hollywooders in the USA could learn some etiquette of this sort, and not be as divisively political as they are, then maybe the USA film industry - and comics industry - would see some improvement. Alas, that doesn't look to happen for a long time.
