Sarath Das Says He Dubbed Ranbir Kapoor in Malayalam for Ramayana
Malayalam actor Sarath Das dubbed Ranbir Kapoor for the Malayalam version of Ramayana: Rise Of A Legend.
He says he was not told whose voice he was testing until he recognized Kapoor in a few audio clips.
A strict NDA kept his role secret until the Malayalam trailer came out.

Dubbing the first part took three to four months, and he says he watched no full scenes before entering the booth.
He was nervous about how audiences would respond, but says they clapped and cried when Lord Rama appeared on screen with his voice.

What people are saying
I never tried to imitate his base voice. It would be a risky task.
Ranbir has done a fantastic job.
I cried watching his performance in many scenes.
If the voices weren’t in sync, our reactive Malayalam audiences would start booing.
