Kaun Banega Crorepati 16: Amitabh Bachchan reveals why he had to redub for his role Vijay Dinanath Chauhan overnight just a day after the film's release

The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 continues with Varun Dhawan and Raj. Varun asks Big B about his voice modulation done while playing Vijay DeenaNath Chauhan. He says, “You have been a hero for so many generations that even new actors try to capture your style in certain scenes. I tell them only you can truly embody that character. As an actor, I’d love to know—when you took on the character of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, what was on your mind? How did you decide on the voice modulation.”

Big B reveals, “I’ll tell you a fact—some things are unplanned. On the first day of shooting, I still hadn’t figured out how to portray him. I was in the makeup room and called Mukul Anand and suggested giving Vijay a distinct, deep voice. He agreed, and that’s how we decided on it. There was a man who used to visit Kalyanji-Anandji’s home with a similar heavy tone, so I thought, why not model Vijay’s voice after that? Later, I found out that man came from an underground background, which fit the essence of Vijay’s character perfectly. So, the character’s first shot was inspired by him.When the film released, got call from the producers. He complained that people started protesting in the theatres saying that it’s not my voice. They blamed the sound department. Hence I had to redub overnight. Then I had to shoot in normal voice.”
