Actor Rana Daggubati will voice the powerful and mysterious Ice Elf, Barka, in the highly anticipated second season of the anime series Solo Leveling. Daggubati will bring his iconic voice to Barça in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Adding to the excitement, Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment will bring the Solo Leveling -Reawakening- Fan Omnibus film to theaters in India on December 6, 2024, where fans can experience Rana’s Hindi performance for the first time.

Appearing in both Solo Leveling Season 2 and Solo Leveling Re-Awakening, Barsa is a powerful Ice Elf and the boss of the Red Gate Dungeon.
