What made Priyamani emotional?

What made Priyamani emotional?

March 3, 2010

The glamorous actress Priyamani has become strong-minded to dub for her films from now. This strong decision was taken as she recently missed a Kerala State Award for the film ‘Thirakkatha’ because she has not dubbed herself for the film even with an unbelievable performance. So, she decided not to take any more chances.

In recent times, Priyamani was dubbing for herself for both the Hindi and Tamil versions of Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus bilingual film ‘Raavan’. All the things are going fine as she knows the languages well.

Priya says that there was an emotional scene which has to be dubbed with deep modulations. For that scene, director asked her to do the Tamil version first followed by Hindi as she knows the feel better in Hindi. Sources say that as soon as the dubbing started for that typical emotional scene, she became so emotional and finally she broke down in to tears.

Priya says, the scene was so heart touching and she was practically merged with the scene. The film ‘Raavan’ is going to be a milestone project in her career. [WaY]
