MUMBAI: Popular actor and voice artist Sharad Kelkar has shared his experience of lending his voice to South superstar Yash’s character, Ravana, in the Hindi version of the upcoming magnum opus Ramayana. Speaking at the trailer launch event of his upcoming movie Kaali Kheti, Kelkar opened up about the dedication required for the dubbing process.
Reacting humorously to the widespread acclaim he received for his dubbing work, Kelkar channelled Ravana’s signature deep tone and remarked, “I would like to say that everywhere, across all three worlds, there will be only one reign — Kelkar’s reign.”
Shifting to a more serious note, Kelkar heaped high praise on Yash’s powerful performance in the film. “Honestly, I must compliment Yash. The way he has performed in the film, I don’t think anyone else could have done it. He is such a brilliant actor. The composure and conviction with which he carried the role are phenomenal,” Kelkar noted.
He further added that matching Yash’s screen presence made his own dubbing job considerably challenging. “That is precisely why he is receiving so much appreciation for his role. He was so exceptionally good in the film that it actually made it quite difficult for me to dub for him,” he added.
