I was afraid what they’ll do the songs, how much they’ll be ruined by the dub. I was reluctant to watch the movie in Hindi, simply because of it being a musical. But, here, when everything is just CGI, and its lions who’re speaking some human language, it doesn’t matter whether it’s English or Hindi. You know, when you watch any Hollywood movie dubbed, it feels weird because the white characters are speaking Hindi. His son, Aryan, also did a decent work for his first project in the second half. You can hear Mufasa, the character, and yet you can hear Shahrukh Khan, the one we all grew up with. Sure it sounds a little off just after a road, but his deep voice acts as a bonus factor to give the true king the true voice. For India, we can thank Shahrukh Khan for getting people to theatre to watch the same story again in the dubbed version.īut, is the Bollywood King able to give a lion a voice that goes? Oh, yes.

He reveals that he was not involved in casting and scripting process much. I chose them, because they were from Australia and visited India to understand things in a better way,” Saroo said. There were about 30 production companies who approached me to make a film (based on my life) mostly from the US.

He survives many challenges before being adopted by an Australian family and he eventually tracks down his lost family in India via Google maps years later “There were lots of offers to make a film on my story. “Lion” is based on the true story of a young Indian boy who gets separated from his brother and mother when he ends up 1,000 miles away from his home, lost at a train station in Kolkata. I have a collection of 300 Hindi films and one of my favourite films is ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’,” added Saroo. If ever a Hindi film is made, Shah Rukh Khan can do it (my part).Īmong the actress (to play my love interest) Deepika Padukone or Aishwarya Rai Bachchan or Preity Zinta would be apt,” Saroo told a news agency.īut he clarifies that as of now there are no offers from B-Town to make a film so far.
