'Puri Jagannath Lends Voice For 'Mondodu'

Lending voices was always there in the stream but  when Big B introduced the story of 'Lagaan',  it spelt magic on screen and even more so,  off the screen. It's become a cult practice  with many directors running to huge stars  with base and metallic voices to give voice  over for their movies which worked as a  brand endorsement. In Telugu, the first  movie one can recall is 'Jalsa' in which Mahesh  Babu dubbed his voice introducing Pawan Kalyan  and fans felt a current of pleasure running thru  their veins. Recently, Megastar Chiranjeevi gave  his voice to 'Aadi Shankara'. As for the Directors, Dasari Narayana Rao used to  speak on behalf of the film at the beginning and  ending of every film of his. They said the audience  waited for his words as much as the national anthem  at the end of the show. RGV sensationalized the  same with 'Rakta Charitra' in recent times with his  pragmatic expressionless tone carrying the mood  along with the bloodshed visuals. It's rare for a director however, to give his voice  for a movie. Puri Jagannath is doing that for  'Mondodu', produced by Srinivasa Reddy  and directed by Journalist Prabhu with Srikanth  in the title role. Producer said 'I thank the ace  director Puri for accepting to lend his voice to our film  and I am sure, we haven't disappointed him with  our product' Prabhu said 'His voice comes  in the introductory scenes of Srikanthand in the climax  sequence. We thank him for readily accepting to do the same'
