Shreyas Talpade, the versatile actor known for his impactful roles in both Marathi and Hindi cinema, has captivated audiences with his powerful voice in Pushpa 2. In an exclusive conversation with The Free Press Journal, Shreyas opens up about the challenges and techniques behind bringing the iconic character's fiery voice to life.

He reveals how his vocal exercises and understanding of the character's emotional journey helped him capture Pushpa's intensity. Excerpts:

Q: How did you prepare yourself for Pushpa 2 after the success of the first movie?

A: My preparation starts a few days before I begin dubbing, focusing on sleeping and waking up on time, along with vocal exercises. After that, I watch the film, understand the character's arc, and empathize with the emotions. I try to understand what the actor must have felt during each scene and aim to feel the same while performing.

Q: What specific techniques did you use to capture the ruggedness of Pushpa's voice?

A: In Pushpa Part 2, I understood the character's journey. In Part 1, Pushpa's rise came with vulnerability, but in Part 2, he asserts his authority. His body language and voice had to reflect that power while maintaining an element of vulnerability. We use voice exercises from theatre, focusing on voice projection, which helps a lot during dubbing.

Q: What was the most rewarding part of working on Pushpa 2?
