Bollywood actress Rani Mukherjee started her film career with ‘Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat’. However, she got recognition from the film ‘Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat’. After this she also acted in ‘Ghulam’ with Aamir Khan. The filmmakers of ‘Ghulam’ decided to use a dubbing artist for Rani’s voice. Because he did not find Rani’s voice perfect for the film. Recently Rani recalled how Aamir Khan was made a bad cop.
Rani Mukherjee said, ‘It was a very normal sounding voice. This is my voice and it’s different. But I think at that time it was just that Aamir Khan was already a successful actor, who was betting on a new artiste. The film’s director Vikram Bhatt explained that he was only going by the conversation that took place in the editing room that this girl’s voice was a little different.
He told, ‘At that time it was common for actresses to get their voices dubbed by others. Especially if she was not good at Hindi. Rani said that Aamir cited Sridevi as an example and recalled how her voice was dubbed in many films. Rani Mukerji said, especially Sridevi ji, her voice was dubbed for many years and she was one of my favorite actresses.
‘So Aamir told me, ‘Rani, you know your favorite actress is Sridevi. Her voice was dubbed in many films. Doesn’t matter. We have to do what is good for our film. Rani further said, at that time Aamir was made a bad cop. But I don’t think he has given it much thought. They just wanted to play it safe with the film.
Aamir Khan and Rani Mukherjee starrer Ghulam is one of the best films of his career. This film, directed by Vikram Bhatt, was released in 1998. The audience greatly appreciated the acting of the two actors in this film.
