Was Priyanka Chopra the initial choice for Ayushmann Khurrana's character Pooja's voice over in Dream Girl?

Ayushmann Khurrana, who is all set to impress the audience once again with his dreamy voice, recently opened up on how he spoke in a female voice for his upcoming film Dream Girl, co-starring Nushrat Bharucha. The actor opened up about how he struggled to dub in a female voice. 

When asked about how he prepared for Pooja's voice, the actor said, “Since I was 80 percent there, I thought of giving it a try, then, if things didn’t work out, we could try getting an actress or a good voiceover artist on board too. I personally love Priyanka Chopra’s voice."

Speaking in a female voice is not new territory for Ayushmann though. During his days as a radio jockey, he would make prank calls as a woman. When he tried dubbing in a studio for the film, it worked. “Of course, I had to give 30-40 takes, focussing on every single line. It was hard work, but we finally got it right,” he added, revealing that when he was 15, he would call his first girlfriend’s home, and if one of her parents picked up the phone, he would pretend to be one of her female friends. “I think I’d been preparing for this film for years.”

Dream Girl is all set to release on September 13, 2019.
