Sharad Kelkar
According to reports, the 39-year-old actor, known for a rich baritone, was recently seen putting in extra efforts to match the texture of Vin Diesel's voice. "I have dubbed for Vin for the first time. He has a gruff and slightly rough voice. Since my voice is clear and deep, I had to put in a lot of effort to emulate his voice. Vin does not move his lips much, so creating the correct tone wasn't easy. I tapped into the mood of his character and enacted the scenes in the dubbing studio. This is what I call 'method dubbing," explained Sharad.

On a related note, Sharad has also lent his voice to characters in the Hindi-dubbed versions of films like 'Guardians Of The Galaxy', 'Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes' and 'X-Men: Apocalypse' and several others. He had also dubbed for National award winning film, SS Rajamouli's Baahubali last year. 'XXX: Return of Xander Cage' will also mark the Hollywood debut of sizzling Deepika Padukone, who will be seen romancing Vin on-screen.
