In 'Agneepath', he attempted this voice, which was different than the usual tone. And when the film released, they started getting reports that people were breaking the theatres and the sound system because they said, 'Hey, what's happened to Amitabh Bachchan's voice?' They thought the speakers were off."
Continuing further, he said, "So Yash Johar, called and said, 'We have to do something about this'. And I remember that Friday night, dad went into the dubbing studio and I sat with him and I fell asleep. I was very young, and he spent the entire night re-dubbing the entire film in his normal voice. And Saturday morning, I remember around 8 o'clock, he walked out of there, woke me up and walked out. He took the cans straight for mixing. And by Saturday night, they were sending those prints out with the new voice. So we have many memories of this dubbing studio.'Abhishek Bachchan's next film is 'Kaalidhar Laapata', which will stream on Zee5.- EndsMust Watch
