The Boys: Arjun Kapoor & Rajkummar Rao
With the show’s second season being one of the most-awaited sequels on the OTT space, it’s time for Amazon Prime Video to offer fans a desi treat of the popular superhero satire. In what is certainly going to make the popularity of the show reach unprecedented heights, they have roped in Bollywood superstars Arjun Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao to dub for the Hindi version for both the seasons. Rajkummar will be lending his voice for Homelander the main antagonist, while Arjun will be voicing for Billy Butcher. Here is a fun fact for the die-hard fans, the show is also being dubbed in Tamil and Telugu.
The Lion King: Shah Rukh Khan
King Khan as the King of the Jungle. Well, now that’s a match made in heaven, to say the least. Lending his voice to Disney’s iconic Mufasa, SRK made every kid’s dream come true who grew up on this cult classic of the 90s.
In addition to his deep and intense voice that fit like a glove to Mufasa’s demeanour, the cherry on the cake was his son Aryan who lent his voice as Simba. Adding their own personal touch to the dialogues, the bond between Mufasa and Simba seemed a lot stronger as fans heard this father-son duo weave magic into the film. Ask SRK and he’ll tell you that Lion King is the film he watches when he is clueless about what to watch with his children, Aryan, Suhana and AbRam. That’s good parenting right there!!!
