JAGJIT SINGH DUBBING FOR BARU - THE WONDER KID
Ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh has dubbed for an animation film BARU-THE WONDER KID. Releasing this October in theatres, BARU-THE WONDER KID is the story of a twelve year old orphan boy, BARU, & his courageous journey to free his sister, Anannya (fondly called as Ani), from the clutches of the Devil Prince- Zukayu.
Jagjit Singh has dubbed for the voice of Dada ji, the narrator of this story. Says he, “I really enjoyed it. This is the first time that I have done something beyond singing. In any case I do enjoy working for the kids. Dubbing dialogues was definitely fun and emoting the role of dadaji was great.”
According to the director Sachin Gote he himself had put in a lot of initiatives to improvise. He had finished dubbing within 3 hours. Says one of the producers, Prabhakar Shukla, “We were dubbing in Amar haldipur ji’s studio. He has shown some clippings of BARU to Jagjit Ji. Once he saw those he liked it immensely. When I heard this I approached him. He had sung for my first film GUDIYA and knew me. He saw the full film, and was kind enough to agree. He asked to be the narrator, saying that I know how grand fathers speak. He asked for dialogues and did it as goodwill for kids. Did not charge even a penny for the work.” Adds Vishnu Manohar, “His voice has added so much of class to the character and the film.”
Besides Jagjit Ji, other artistes who have dubbed for BARU- THE WONDER KID are Sharad Kelkar, Vrajesh Hirjee and Nandu Madhav. Produced by Vishnu Manohar & Prabhakar Shukla, it is directed by Sachin Gote and is looking for October 2010 release. Its music is by Vivek Prakash, Lyrics by Madan Pal and singers are Udit Narayan, Sadhna Sargam, Vinod Rathore, Yashvir Prakash, Roli Prakash & Tanushree.
