Aishwarya Rai Bachchan To Dub For Angelina Jolie Starrer Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil In Hindi

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is lending her voice to the Hindi version of Disney’s Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil. She is dubbing for the lead character played by Angelina Jolie.

Aishwarya has been compared to Jolie several times and parallels are often drawn between the two and hence, there couldn’t have been a better person to dub for Jolie than Ash in India. ARB will bring her distinct and impeccable style to Jolie’s Maleficent.

“Looking at how Angelina Jolie fits Maleficent’s role down to the letter, it was hard to imagine anyone else essaying the character other than Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for our local audience. We wanted to build a strong connect and bring her character to life in Hindi and felt Aishwarya’s persona which is filled with elegance and poise would be a perfect blend,” said Bikram Duggal, Head- Studio Entertainment, Disney India.

A stirring tale of good versus evil, Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil will see Maleficent and her goddaughter Aurora question the complex family ties that bind them as they are pulled in different directions by impending nuptials, unexpected allies and dark new forces at play.

 The film will release on October 18 in India.
