Bollywood's 'Bad Man'
Gulshan Grover, who has made a successful transition to the West with
films like The Second Jungle Book: Mowgli & Baloo and Desperate
Endeavours, is now giving voiceover to the dubbed Hindi version of
Steven Spielberg's adventure fantasy, The Big Friendly Giant (BFG).
While Amitabh Bachchan is likely to dub for the good friendly giant
(played by Mark
Rylance), we hear Gulshan was the obvious choice for the main villain,
the Fleshlumpeater, essayed by Jemaine Clement. The actor, who has met
the Hollywood filmmaker on a few occasions earlier, says, “This was a
different experience. With a filmmaker like Spielberg at the helm of
affairs, you want to better your best. It was a huge challenge to give
the voiceover for a part played by a brilliant actor like Jemaine.
However, I had a lot of fun doing it.“
