Mammootty is the best when it comes to dubbing: Siddique
Malayalis have been seeing Mammootty’s exceptional acting skills for over three decades now. The actor par excellence has given some remarkable performance that will remain etched in the memories forever.
Unlike Mohanlal, who could excel in almost every department of acting, Mammootty’s forte was his impeccable skills in dialogue delivery be it the emotional scenes or the punch dialogues.
Remember how his voice trembled in the final speech in Katha Parayumpol. That 15 odd minutes is a classic example of Mammootty’s skills in dialogue delivery. He had to stand before a mike and emote over his long lost friend. Mammootty gave such a stunning performance that superstars like Rajinikanth and Shah Rukh Khan and could not even close to in the remake versions of the movie.
Not only the emotional scenes. His top notch dialogue delivery in Rajamanikyam was truly a revelation. He aced the local Trivandrum dialect like no other actor has ever done.
When it comes to delivering dialogues in different lingo, Mammootty is undoubtedly the go to choice. Be it the terrific Kottayam slang in Kottayam Kunjachan, the Thrissur slang in Pranchiyettan and the Saint, the Kozhikode slang in Palerimanickyam Oru Pathira Kolapathakathinte Katha, Valluvandan slang in Valsalyam and many other dialects in movies like Vidheyan, Amaram, Bus Conductor, Loud Speaker etc.
Recently, director Siddique in an interview shared about how Mammootty’s voice influenced him. Siddique feels that Mammootty is the best when it comes to dubbing.
“All other actors concentrate only on the acting part and are not so concerned about dubbing. But Mammootty is someone who gives his 100 percent in front of the camera and 110 percent while dubbing.”
Mammootty and Siddique have previously worked together in movies like Hitler and Chronic Bachelor. Their last outing, Bhaskar The Rascal released in 2015, was also a blockbuster success.
