MUMBAI: Sony Pictures' Maut Ke Farishtey, the Hindi dubbed version of the post-apocalyptic film Legion, will release on 5 March along with the original English version.

The film will also be dubbed in Tamil and Telugu, the release dates of which will be announced later. Judging by the response to the dubbed versions of the apocalyptic blockbuster 2012, this action-packed special effects heavy film is expected to strike a chord with Indian audiences as well.

When God loses faith in mankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the apocalypse. Humanity's only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner and the archangel Michael (Paul Bettany).

Directed by Scott Stewart, the movie stars Paul Bettany, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson, Adriana Palicki, Charles S Dutton, Jon Tenney, Kevin Durand, Willa Holland with Kate Walsh and Dennis Quaid.

Legion opened in the US on 22 January at the second spot behind Avatar.
