29 Oct 2016

Hrithik Roshanis leaving no stone unturned to ensure his new film Kaabil turns out just so. Or shall we say, hes leaving no tone unturned, as his character is required to speak in many voices. Among the many voice personalities that Hrithik Roshan assumes, he was also required to speak theAmitabhBachchan baritone this week.And Hrithik did it bang-on. Says a source close to actor, When Hrithik did a voice imitation ofBachchansaab, he was so uncannily close to the original that everyone on the sets assumed that sound designerResulPookuttyhad somehow engineered the miraculous makeover. But it was Hrithik andHrithikalone doingBachchansaabs signature baritone to near-perfection. Interestingly, mimicry is one of Hrithiks hidden talents. Hence, when in Kaabil , he had to do voice impersonations of some well-known personalities; HrithikRoshan insisted that his voice wont be dubbed by a mimicry artiste. Says the source, Sound designerResulandHrithikRoshan decided to take up the challenge of makingHrithikRoshan do the voice impersonations in the superstars own voice. And its worked wonderfully. Hrithik Roshans characterRohanBhatnagarin Kaabil is a blind man who lives a normal life in the city much like many others there, and earns by being a dubbing artist. Apart from Bachchansvoice,Hrithik Rohanwill be seen doing other character voices in the movie as well, all inHrithiksown voice. Its the first time we will be seeing something like this on celluloid in a Hindi movie. SaysHrithik Roshan, I guess this is just a reflection of the kind of impactAmitabhBachchanhas had on my generation, and, of course, the fact that hard work equals results.
