Rana Daggubati is all pumped up for his new venture. The superstar will lend his voice for Tom Hanks in the upcoming Hollywood movie, Inferno. Here’s what he had to say about it, “I've enjoyed all of the Dan Brown's books and have enjoyed the portrayal of Robert Langdon particularly on screen. Tom Hanks is a legendary actor and to be a part of his legacy in this way made for an exciting partnership of sorts. More so, this film Inferno is quite significant for us in India because it truly celebrates the power of the Indian market for global players, given that they are releasing it two weeks ahead of the US. For me personally, I will be able to look back and feel proud of having memorable characters like Bhallaldev and Robert Langdon to my credit in the same year"
He further shared about his learning experience during the project saying,"I learnt a lot while dubbing for an actor of the calibre of Tom Hanks. I did a small exercise for myself where I got myself recorded while dubbing. This helped me a lot in my performance. It was almost like getting trained from someone like Tom Hanks. It is great that a lot of actors today are chosen to do voice-overs and dubbing for Hollywood movies like PeeCee, Irfan and Om Puri did for The Jungle Book and now I am doing for Inferno. A great story made should reach many more people and by the way of dubbing a Hollywood film you tend to increase cinematic viewership for the audience and create the local connect. I would want to dub for many more films in the future."
The movie, which is the third part of Dan’s Brown’ series which includs bestsellers like ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and ‘Angels & Demons’, is a mystery thriller, has been written by David Koepp and and directed by Ron Howard. The film also stars Bollywood actor Irfan Khan, and will be dubbed in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil. It will hit the theaters on 14TH October 2016.
