Baahubali as a character is synonymous with strength and grit; to translate that on-screen with just your voice is no easy feat. Renowned dubbing artist Samarlakota Sairaj opens about his experience of lending his voice to the legendary character – Baahubali in Telugu and reveals his process and people who made this a success.
Elaborating further, dubbing artist Samarlakota Sairaj said, “It was a bit challenging. To match such an iconic voice and personality was a task. There was an expectation from the audience for the character already, so I felt like I had big shoes to fill. Hearing that I was selected motivated me. As I got more comfortable with the show and character, I was able to adapt my voice and grow into the character. I felt involved with the story thanks to the dubbing directors assisting me. Having a good dynamic with the sound engineer allowed me to remain in the flow of the character and dialogues during takes.”
