USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…Going by their popularity, the Tamilians seem to have taken over Bollywood. By far the two busiest showbiz personalities in Mumbai are Prabhu Dheva and Prakash Raj. Both are working in back-to-back projects, and in Prakash's case, the projects are distressingly overlapping.
So busy is Prakash Raj with his arch-villainy act that Apoorva Lakhia, whose Zanjeer is being readied for release, had to travel this week to Bangkok for the actor's dubbing. Prakash is shooting for writers-turned-directorial-duo Sajid-Farhad's It's Entertainment.
Says a source from Bangkok, "We were surprised to see Apoorva Lakhia at our location. We thought he had come to meet Akshay Kumar for a narration. But he told us he is here to dub with Prakash Raj."
Further probing revealed that all the other actors including the enormously-busy Ramcharan and Priyanka Chopra had already dubbed for Zanjeer. Only Prakash Raj's dubbing remained.
Says the source, "This is not the first time that Prakash Raj's dubbing was on hold while he shot for another film. During Dabangg 2, director Arbaaz Khan waited as long as he could to get Prakash Raj's dubbing dates and then got them dubbed by another dubbing artiste. Apu didn't want to make the same mistake. Prakash's voice is too distinctive and familiar. He couldn't risk messing it up. If you remember in the original Zanjeer, Ajit's voice carried the villainous authority of the character. Prakash Raj's character couldn't speak in an impersonator's voice. So Apu flew down to Bangkok to dub the actor's dialogues."
Incidentally, Ramcharan has finished his dubbing in Hindi for Zanjeer.
