Alia Won’t Be Speaking Her Own Telugu Lines In RRR

Disappointing news  for Alia Bhatt’s fans in Andhra Pradesh.  The Gangubai Kathiawadi actress won’t be speaking in her own voice in the Telugu version of RRR.

The buzz in  Hyderabad is   that  Alia’s diction, for all ger tutoring, is not correct.

“Alia  worked hard on learning Telugu from scratch  for  RRR. And Rajamouli was  very keen to keep her original voice,since a dubbed  voice  takes  away from the  original  performance. However finally it was felt that it was better to dub her voice  as her Telugu accent was incorrect,” says  a source.

When  I asked Alia  about her  Telugu  lines she  said, “Yes, I did  get a coach to learn Telugu from scratch and I  did learn the language especially for my role  in RRR. But I don’t know  if they are keeping  my voice. If  they aren’t, it’s because the emotion of the moment in the scenes  must not be compromised by the  spoken lines.”

About her  very brief  role in RRRR right after  being in almost every frame of Gangubai  Alia shrugs,  “I did RRR only for the  pleasure of  working with Rajamouli Sir. The length  of the role is  not relevant.’
