Suriya’s voice to be dubbed using AI
Kanguva will be released in eight languages worldwide on November 14. Apart from Tamil, the film will be released in Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, English, French and Spanish. Gnanavel revealed during the discussion that they will not be using dubbing artists for Suriya’s character in other languages. But Suriya will not be dubbing in those languages, either.
Eenadu translated what he said in Tamil: “Suriya is dubbing for the Tamil version, but we will use AI for other languages. This marks new territory for Kollywood. Recently, Vettaiyan makers did something similar for Amitabh Bachchan’s voice. We hope it’ll succeed because we want to release the film in Chinese and Japanese also.”
In the same chat, Gnanavel also said that Kanguva will be released in around 3500 screens worldwide. While there were plans to release the film in 3D and IMAX formats, the producer said there are no plans for an IMAX release now. The producer said the film’s team has also approached Rajinikanth and Prabhas to be the chief guests at the pre-release event.
