Ahead of the release of Men in Black: International, Siddhant Chaturvedi got together with Chris Hemsworth to help him bring some desi flavour to his acting. Siddhant and Sanya Malhotra voice the characters played by Hemsworth and his co-star Tessa Thompson in the Hindi version of the film.
Check out a clip here:
The video opens with Siddhant gushing over Chris saying that he has been a “huge fan”. “I’ve heard. Thank you very much,” Chris responds. He then recreates some of Chris’ iconic lines from the film in Hindi. These include “Come on, the world’s not going to save itself”, “Just point at the bad guys and pull the trigger,” and “We protect the Earth, and everything and everyone on it”.
Siddhant then turns the tables and gets Chris to translate famous filmy lines from Bollywood into English. Chris gets most of them right including, “Rishte mein toh hum tumhare baap lagte hai”, “Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost” and of course Ranveer Singh’s Gully Boy catchphrase “Apna time aayega".
Speaking about the challenges he faced in doing justice to Chris’ character, Siddhant had said, “It was quite overwhelming to dub for Hemsworth’s character. He has got a great voice and to make up for that was a tough challenge. But I have added an Indian touch to it for the Indian audience. It will be a fun film.”
Men in Black: International stars Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson as agents of the secret Men in Black organisation in charge of intergalactic security. The location this time around is London, as opposed to the United States. The cast also stars Liam Neeson as the head of the UK branch of MIB and Emma Thompson who reprises her role as Agent O from Men in Black 3. The film releases in theatres on 14 June.
