SRK dubs Hindi version prologue of 'Pazhassi Raja'

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has dubbed the prologue of the Hindi version of multi-lingual film 'Pazhassi Raja', a film based on the revolutionary hero from Kerala.

King Khan has dubbed the prologue for the Hindi version of the Mammootty-starrer movie, which is releasing simultaneously in five languages including Hindi and English tomorrow. When the film's director T Hariharan approached Shah Rukh for the movie, the actor readily agreed to do the prologue without even charging a penny. Praveen VC, Executive Producer of the movie says, "Shah Rukh comes from the family of freedom fighters and feels happy to be associated with such project."

The Tamil prologue of the movie was also given its due worth when superstar Kamal Hassan dubbed the prologue. The Malayalam original has Mohanlal introducing 'Pazhassi Raja' to the audiences through a 45-second prologue, Praveen said.

The film is about 'Pazhassi Raja' played by Mammootty, a native king of Waynad in Malabar area of Kerala. He is said to be one of the first freedom fighters who started a guerilla war against the British. Apart from superstars Mammootty and Sarath Kumar, the film also stars, Manoj K Jayan, Thilakan, Padmapriya, Kanika and Jagathi Sreekumar in other pivotal roles.
