"It was fun dubbing for Roadside Romeo" - Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor has stepped into Angelina Jolie's shoes. No, no apni Kareena hasn't replaced the firangi Jolie in any Hollywood film but like Angelina who enjoys dubbing for animated characters, Kareena too completed dubbing for one recently. A close friend of the actress revealed, "Kareena just completed dubbing for Roadside Romeo. This is Yashraj Films' animation film. Kareena had fun giving various sounds for her animated character in the film." The source adds, "Before proceeding with the dubbing, Kareena heard the story and made sincere efforts to understand the character that she dubbed for. Kareena knew that it is her voice that will put across the emotions on screen. It was hard work but after watching the end result Kareena felt all the efforts were worth it. She even saw Kung Fu Panda for which Angelina Jolie dubbed for." It may be known that Kareena and Saif have been roped in to dub for the main characters in Roadside Romeo that marks the debut of Jugal Hansraj as a director. Says Kareena, "It was fun dubbing for Road Side Romeo. It's for the first time ever that an actress has dubbed for an animation film and since it was a first of sorts, it was particularly challenging." Trust Kareena to always be a trendsetter.
Kareena demonstrates her 'ada' for ROADSIDE ROMEO
Forget the Pooja of TASHAN, Kareena is all set to be seen in an altogether different avtar for Yash Raj Film's next production. Soon she would be heard as Laila and the film which would be giving her this platform is ROADSIDE ROMEO. ROADSIDE ROMEO - Well, that's the first ever animation outing for YRF where Kareena along with Saif Ali Khan would be giving a voiceover for the dogs. In fact it is going to be a Kareena v/s Kareena outing since ROADSIDE ROMEO would be arriving on 24th October while GOLMAAL RETURNS would be hitting the screens on 29th October. Though the first look of ROADSIDE ROMEO (featuring Saif Ali Khan's voice) was revealed months back when this Jugal Hansraj film was slated for Summer 2008 release, a delay to Diwali has resulted in the makers arriving with a new promo with Kareena in focus this time around. As Laila, the female dog who comes to give an audition for a heroine's role, Kareena gets the right 'ada' in place to demonstrate the naughty-yet-smart streak. She doesn't just tease the casting director with her monosyllabic yet confident replies, she also intimidates him with her smartness. Not just that, she also flutters her eyelashes when the right arrives and gives a lot more than just a simple message when the director probes deeper into skills. How exactly? Well, she just replies that she knows 'everything - just about everything'! Paving a way for far more interesting things to come as the film arrives in entirety, the special promo of ROADSIDE ROMEO has already made quite a splash! ROADSIDE ROMEO is slated to be the biggest animation movie ever coming from the house of Yash Raj Films with music by Salim-Sulaiman. The other star attraction of the film is Javed Jaffrey who also gives a voiceover for a dog.
