After superstars like Shah Rukh Khan (The Incredibles — English version) and Priyanka Chopra (Planes — English version), Sonakshi Sinha and Imran Khan have lent their voices for the Hindi-dubbed version of Hollywood animation flick Rio 2.
They are featured as the voices of the lovable macaws, Jewel and Blu. The English version of the movie has Anne Hathaway and Jesse Eisenberg doing what Sona and Imran have. “I love animation films. So, when they approached me to lend my voice to the sequel of one of the most loved animation films, I didn’t think twice,” says Sonakshi, adding, “It’s a completely new experience for me and I’m very excited!” Ranvir Shorey and Vinay Pathak had dubbed in Hindi for the characters of Nico and Pedro in the earlier version of Rio.
