Gag order on Ram Charan

Another South star is all set to make his Bollywood debut with Zanjeer. But Mirror has learnt that his heavy accent has barred the actor from voicing his dialogues for the film.
Apparently, Ram Charan Teja attempted several rounds of dubbing. Although he is proficient in Hindi, it is his heavy southern accent that got in the way. The makers then called actor and dubbing artist Rajesh Khattar for a voice test. However, later they decided not to go with a known face and voice, and zeroed in on a little-known voiceover artist.

When Mirror tried to contact Khattar, he sent us a text message saying: "Yes, I did go for a voice test. But I am not the voice of Ram in the film."

Director Apoorva Lakhia confirmed that Teja's voice was dubbed in the Hindi version. Zanjeer is all set to release on September 6.
