To dub or not to dub? Will Priyanka Chopra Jonas speak in Telugu in S S Rajamouli’s Varanasi? While the official stance remains non-committal, sources confirm the Varanasi team has already decided: Priyanka won’t dub her own Telugu lines. A professional dubbing artiste will be brought in instead.
A source says Priyanka was keen to speak her own lines but, as a non-Telugu speaker, struggled with accent and diction despite trying hard. The team is casting someone whose voice matches Priyanka’s.
