New Delhi: Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Animal’s English version was released on OTT on February 8. Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s directorial’s English version doesn’t feature Ranbir Kapoor’s voice and a famous television actor has dubbed for Ranbir’s part in the English version. Nakuul Mehta, who is known for shows like Bade Acche Lagte Hain 2, and Ishaqbaaz, has given his voice to Ranbir’s character.
Nakul took to Instagram and posted a video of the movie on Netflix with his dubbing and wrote on the video, “From now on you may call me Ranbir English.” In the video, the actor’s wife is surprised to listen to his voice in the film.
In the caption, he wrote, “Spending a fortnight up close with Ranbir in a dark cold dubbing studio with only a flask containing hot water, turmeric, honey & some extremely black coffee for company has been one heck of a ride I promise you!
Watching one of the finest of our generation deliver this cracker of an act so up close has been both beautiful and at times painful given the playing field of the film. It has felt liberating, powerful, painful and never ending at different points yet I feel so enriched have had this wonderful opportunity to recreate this act in English under the expert direction of the amazing @benaifermirza & the relentless @sagar.dani666 at @mayukhiinsyncstudios.”
He continued, “Animal is now also playing in ENGLISH on Netflix. Would love to hear your thoughts if you do end up giving it a watch.”
“P.S. Also to everyone who volunteered to bring me Vocalzone pastilles from across the world, your kindness carried me through the fortnight I spent with a beaten throat trying to recreate this high octane performance.
P.P.S. Look out for the scene between Vijay and Varun where I got to spar with my frontman @alekhsangal in his backyard,” he concluded.
