00:00Shreyas, you've also got Pushpa 2 coming this year, which is really, I mean, you've got
00:06how many things, I mean, I would think that Pushpa in Hindi, the first one, it really
00:12worked, of course, for Allu Arjun and everything else. But your voice did it. You did the dubbing
00:17for Allu Arjun.
00:18I, you know, I've been very lucky and fortunate to be a part of a film like Pushpa. See, actually,
00:25again, you never know what would happen, right? Because I still remember when Manish Bhai,
00:31who was producing the first part in Hindi, he called up and he said, we want to dub it
00:36in Hindi. There's a film called Pushpa. And I said, sorry, what? So he said, Pushpa, it's
00:42a Telugu film and they want to dub it in Hindi. So I said, okay, I want to see the film. Okay.
00:49And then said, yeah, I'll show you the film. But what about Manish and all? So I quoted
00:53a certain price. He said, are you mad? Itna paisa, poora picture nahi kamayegi, itna paisa.
01:00Literally, he said, sir, aapko batara hoon, Hindi mein release kar rahe hain, unko chahare
01:06Hindi mein karna, but bata nahi sir, picture ka kya hoga, kitna kamayegi, kya karegi. I
01:11said, achcha-achcha, pehle picture dekhte hain. So then I saw the film and literally
01:14I saw the film, how those guys had got the hard drive because I was shooting continuously.
01:20They said, can you come to Hyderabad? I said, no, I will sit here. So I said, achcha-achcha,
01:24where are you? I said, I am shooting every day. Okay, toh kaise dikha hoge? So where
01:28are you shooting? I said, I am shooting in Thane. So it takes approximately an hour and
01:32a half each way, right? So they said, okay, we'll come to your place in the morning.
01:36While going, you watch first half. While coming back, you watch another half. On my laptop.
01:42So while going, I watched the first half. I loved it. I said, mast hai yeh. So coming
01:47back, I saw the other half. Bahut zabar das hai picture. Allu Arjun toh matlab and I have
01:52seen his earlier films also. I said, boss, Allu Arjun is something else in this film.
01:56I said, yeah, yeah, I'll dub it. I'll dub it. I just started dubbing for it and we enjoyed
02:00the entire process. We came up with this whole, something happened and I said, chaila. So
02:05the dubbing director said, sir, Marathi use karte hain. Okay, aap idhar ek doh Marathi
02:10word dalo. So we just enjoyed the entire process, not thinking about what was going to happen.
02:15And then when it released, suddenly there were reels and dialogues and memes and whatever
02:20happening everywhere. And I kept telling Deepthi, what is happening?
02:24So did they give you the price?
02:26But, you know, when I went to theatre, I saw it with the audience and I kept wondering,
02:36what is it? I mean, I've just normally dubbed the film, you know, like I would dub any other
02:41film of mine and I couldn't figure out. Till date, I'm not able to figure out, you know,
02:45but I'm very happy.
02:46It was one of your biggest hits actually in Hindi.
02:47Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm very happy and fortunate. And yeah, now they're coming up with Pushpa
02:522.
02:53So have you finished the dubbing of Pushpa 2?
02:54Not yet. Not yet. No, no. We're just doing bits and pieces in the sense, some teasers
02:57that they release.
02:58Usme bhi aapki avans hai na?
03:00Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there's a song that they released recently and there's a phone call
03:05that he makes and, you know, so. So of course, we do a lot of options. They also give and
03:12they ask me also ki kya kya options ho sakte hai. So we dub all those options. Hey, thoda
03:17line pe rokh, thoda line hold kar, you know. And then they also want the whole Marathi
03:21touch to be continued with whatever. So I said, haan bola, all those things I did. And
03:27then there is, in the end,
03:28Bit like swagger na?
03:29Complete, complete. You know, now toh it has gone tenfold. You know, when you see the song,
03:34you realize his look. But he is amazing. I think, you know, what he does on screen,
03:41Allu Arjun, helps me dub it in that manner. Because when I saw it, the swag was already
03:49in my mind. So that just helped me perform in that particular manner. So yeah, now he's
03:55come with two hands. Har giz, chokega na hai iss sala.
04:04So this year is good. You're going to kill it this year.
04:06Touch wood. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and praying.
04:08Superb. Love it. Thank you.
