Bollywood’s charming actor Shahid Kapoor has mentioned that Chup Chup Ke director Priyadarshan dubbed a part of his voice in the film but didn’t tell. He remembered and was surprised whose voice it was. Shahid Kapoor has revealed that the voice used for his character in Chup Chup Ke was dubbed and it was not his voice.
A few days back, while talking with Netflix, Shahid Kapoor went through and read a comment online, “Can’t believe this is the same guy who used to do ‘Jabba Jabba’ once.” In the film Chup Chup Ke, Shahid Kapoor played the role of a person who pretended to be deaf-mute. The actor who played Shahid stated that the film’s director, Priyadarshan, had dubbed his voice without letting him know.
Responding to the comment, Shahid Kapoor stated, “Oh I know what you’re talking about.” Later he added, “Just FYI, in case you didn’t know, that ‘Jabba Jabba’ voice was not my voice. I also reacted to it the same way the audience did because when I saw the film and at that time, I was a newcomer, so, zyada importance nahi milti jab aap newcomer hote ho (you don’t get much importance as a newcomer).”
Shahid Kapoor added, “Toh unhone mujhe bataye bina, because woh Priyadarshan ne film banayi thi, aur woh Chennai mei apni dubbing aur woh sab karte the. Toh wohin se unhone kisi ko leke woh ‘Dabba Dabba’ kisi aur se kara di (They dubbed my voice without telling me, Priyadarshan made the film and he used to do his dubbing in Chennai. So there itself he chose someone to dub ‘Dabba Dabba’).” Moreover, the actor added, “Jab maine film dekhi toh (When I watched the film) I was looking at the film, I was like, ‘Ye kiski awaz hai (Whose voice is this)?’ and everyone was like, ‘Oh, he’s so funny!’ and I was like ‘Yeah but it’s not me’. I knew because I know what my voice sounds like.”
