Mowgli, Bagheera, Baloo, Kaa
and Shere Khan, the characters from The Jungle Book, may have found
their voices in India. Sources say that Priyanka Chopra, Irrfan, Nana
Patekar, Shefali Shah and Om Puri have reportedly agreed to dub for the
live action feature's Hindi version.
PC is currently on a roll in the West. Between shooting for Quantico and Baywatch, our desi supergirl is also the first choice when it comes to dubbing for popular animation characters.
Earlier, she was the voice of Ishani in Planes, a 2013
animation film. Now, in The Jungle Book, she is all set to be Kaa, the
sultry python, who has been essayed by Scarlett Johansson in the
original. While Bill Murray has lent his voice to Baloo, the friendly
bear, Irrfan will do the same back home.
Shefali Shah will be Raksha, the wolf, portrayed by Lupita Nyong'o in the Hollywood film. And guess what? Om Puri and Ben Kingsley are Bagheera, the panther, in the Hindi and English versions respectively. There is more. Nana Patekar will be the cavernous tone of Shere Khan, the tiger and self-professed ruler of the jungle, played by Idris Elba in the original.
