I myself dub for my films : Mohanlal

Mohanlal of late has shown interest in doing movies from other languages also. Last year he did two back to back Telugu movies- Manamantha and Janatha Garage.

In Manamantha, directed by Chandra Sekhar Yeleti, Mohanlal played a commoner as a Malayali family man based in Hyderabad. The actor himslef dubbed for his role in the movie.

Janatha Garage had him in a Godfather-esque role as Sathyam. The movie, directed by Koratala Siva, featured Telugu star Jr NTR in the lead role along with Mohanlal. Mohanlal did not dub for his character in the movie and it came in as a huge surprise to the audience as Mohanlal is known to dub for his role in all his movies.

In a recent interview, Mohanlal revealed that he could not dub for the role in Janatha Garage due to the lack of time. The makers had already announce the release date and Mohanlal could not find time in between his busy schedule. In the interview he said, he is insistent about his own dubbing even while doing Kannnada, Hindi and Tamil movies. He feels that all the emotions can be conveyed convincingly only when the actor himslef dubs for his role.

Mohanlal meanwhile is shooting for B Unnikrishnan’s Villain in which he is playing a retired police officer. He is also awaiting the release of 1971 Beyond Borders, an upcoming war drama, directed by Major Ravi. The movie is scheduled to hit screens on April 7.
