How many of you know the man behind that baritone voice of Daddy Girija in Mohanlal-starrer Pulimurugan? (Video)

Mohanlal film Pulimurugan was a record blockbuster that created waves all over the country and across Malayali diaspora. Apart from Mohanlal and leopard in the film, there was another character that had grabbed viewers’ attention. It was none other than the villain Daddy Girija, portrayed by Telugu superstar Jagapathy Rao.

There is no doubt about the fact that Daddy Girija began to be recognised because of the thunderous voice dubbed for the character. It was done by actor-singer-mimicry artiste Manoj.

“I began dubbing just for the sake of fun…but the character I can never forget in my life is that in Lalettan’s Pulimurugan that was the first film to enter the 100-crore club film. When I went for dubbing I didn’t feel anything special. I never thought that Pulimurugan will become such a big film,” he says in an interview given to Kaumudy TV channel .
