00:00 Shreyas, you've also got Pushpa 2 coming this year, which is really, I mean, you've got
00:06 how many things? I would think that Pushpa in Hindi, the first one, it really worked,
00:13 of course, for Alu Arjun and everything else. But your voice did it. You did the dubbing
00:17 for Alu Arjun.
00:18 I don't know. I've been very lucky and fortunate to be a part of a film like Pushpa. See, actually,
00:25 again, you never know what would happen, right? Because I still remember when Manish bhai,
00:31 who was producing the first part in Hindi, he called up and he said, we want to dub it
00:36 in Hindi. There's a film called Pushpa. And I said, sorry, what? So he said, Pushpa, it's
00:42 a Telugu film and they want to dub it in Hindi. So I said, okay, I want to see the film. Okay.
00:49 And then said, yeah, yeah, we will show you the film. But what about Manish and all? So
00:53 I quoted a certain price. He said, are you mad? You won't earn the entire film.
01:00 I don't know what I'm saying.
01:02 Literally, he said, sir, I'm telling you, we're releasing it in Hindi. They want to
01:06 do it in Hindi. But I don't know, sir, what will happen to the film? How much will you
01:10 earn? What will you do? I said, okay, let's see the film first. So then I saw the film
01:14 and literally I saw the film, how those guys had got the hard drive because I was shooting
01:19 continuously. They said, can you come to Hyderabad? I said, no, I will eat here. So
01:24 I said, okay, where are you? I said, I'm shooting every day. Okay, so how will you
01:28 show? So where are you shooting? I said, I'm shooting in Dhane. So it takes approximately
01:31 an hour and a half each way, right? So they said, okay, we'll come to your place in the
01:36 morning. While going, you watch first half. While coming back, you watch another half
01:40 on my laptop. Okay. So while going, I watched the first half. I loved it. I said, it's
01:46 great. So coming back, I saw the other half. It's a great film. Allu Arjun, I have seen
01:52 his earlier films also. I said, boss, Allu Arjun is something else in this film. I said,
01:57 yeah, yeah, I'll dub it. I'll dub it. I just started dubbing for it and we enjoyed the
02:01 entire process. We came up with this whole, something happened and I said, so the dubbing
02:06 director said, sir, let's use Marathi. Okay, you put a few Marathi words here. So we just
02:11 enjoyed the entire process, not thinking about what was going to happen. And then when it
02:16 released, suddenly there were reels and dialogues and memes and whatever happening everywhere
02:21 and I kept telling Deepthi, what is happening? So did they give you the prize?
02:26 But, you know, when I went to theatre, I saw it with the audience and I kept wondering,
02:36 what is it? I mean, I have just normally dubbed the film, you know, like I would dub any other
02:41 film of mine. And I couldn't figure out. Till date, I'm not able to figure out, you know.
02:46 It was one of your biggest hits actually. Yeah, yeah. But I'm very happy and fortunate.
02:50 And yeah, now they're coming up with Pushpa 2. So have you finished the dubbing of Pushpa 2?
02:54 Not yet. Not yet. No, no. We're just doing bits and pieces in the sense, some teasers that they release.
02:59 So we just have. That also has your voice in it, right? Yeah, yeah. So there's a song that they released recently.
03:04 And there's a phone call that he makes and, you know, so. So of course, we do a lot of options.
03:10 They also give and they ask me also, what options can be there? So we dub all those options.
03:16 Hey, hold the line, hold the line. And then they also want the whole Marathi touch.
03:21 To be continued with whatever. So I said, yes, I said all those things I did.
03:26 And then there is, in the end. With a bit of swag, right? Complete, complete.
03:31 Now it has gone tenfold. You know, when you see the song, you realize his look.
03:36 But he is amazing. I think, you know, what he does on screen, Allu Arjun, helps me dub it in that manner.
03:46 Because when I saw it, the swag was already in my mind, you know. So that just helped me perform in that particular manner.
03:54 So, yeah, now he's come with two hands and he's like, Harge jhokega na hai iss sala.
04:03 So this year is going, you're going to kill it this year. Touch wood. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and praying.
04:09 Superb. Lovely. Thank you.
