Mortal Kombat will release in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu in Indian cinemas, Warner Bros. India has announced. It will be available in IMAX too. That's on par with the studio's biggest movies, including the likes of Godzilla vs. Kong (that released Wednesday in India). Alongside, Warner Bros. India has unveiled local-language versions of the Mortal Kombat trailer and poster — though the latter only translate the movie title in Hindi, Tamil, or Telugu and the rest is still weirdly in English. Lastly, Warner Bros. India has confirmed the India release date for Mortal Kombat: It's out April 16, in line with the US release on HBO Max.

Warner Bros. India had originally unveiled Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu Mortal Kombat trailers on Tuesday, but they had been taken down shortly after. We've learned that there were some minor errors with the local-language trailers. Updated versions were released on Wednesday. The Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu Mortal Kombat trailers are not age-restricted, even though the original English one was. It's good for those who can't be bothered to log into YouTube, but it does mean that the Mortal Kombat trailer can be viewed by those for whom it's not meant to be seen. Mortal Kombat is rated R in the US, equivalent to “A” certificate in India.

Here's the official synopsis for Mortal Kombat from Warner Bros.:

In Mortal Kombat, MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage — or why Outworld's Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family's safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth's greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana — the immense power from within his soul — in time to save not only his family, but to stop Outworld once and for all?

Mortal Kombat is out April 16 in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu in India.

Update 24/03 1pm: new Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu trailers added.
