Oscar-winning sound mixer Resul Pookutty has dubbed in Hindi for the first time for the upcoming Gour Hari Dastaan — The Freedom File .
He has dubbed a set of dialogues for director Anant Mahadevan, who wanted to use his voice in the film, according to a statement.
“Frankly, I was under the impression that director Anant was pulling a fast one on me when he asked me to dub a line for a tense scene in Gour Hari Dastaan — The Freedom File , but when I saw that he was serious, I was taken aback, more so since he wanted me to dub in Hindi,” Pookutty said.
“I was wary because I had a strong Malayalam accent. But Anant was fine with that. His theory was that there were several Malayalees in Mumbai who spoke like me,” he said.
“The film now has my voice and I laugh every time I hear it, but Anant considers it lucky,” he added.
