In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, he spoke about his experience of working in this medium, working in as many as 300 films, and the north vs south debate. Edited excerpts from the interview How did this project come about? They came to me and said there's something called Wastelanders and where you have to pay Dr. Doom. And I was like 'What is this?' I wasn't aware of it but when I came to know what exactly it was, I was blown. I really had a great time doing it. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD What were the challenges as an actor to be a part of an audio project? None at all. It was an opportunity for me to do something amazing. I love acting. You can create something only on the basis of your voice. It's not a challenge but something fun. What's the importance of an actor's voice in his performance? That plays out beautifully in a project like this. It's not just the actor's voice that you're listening to. It's also the soundscape. The milieu in which we are talking in Wastelanders, it's extraordinary how Audible and its entire team has worked on the scripting part of it, making it so believable. There are a lot of things about this that people won't even notice. What's your take on this North vs South debate since you have worked in both the industries? I have never really looked like that because I have worked across 11 languages in more than 350 films. The one thing I made sure of is that I'm an actor. What you're seeing are films, it's not like South films there and North films here. Some films are working but some films are not and you don't know about it. Not all films are working. What are the things that are working Pan-India? Yeh sab ajeeb sa concept hai. I have worked across cultures and languages and that I feel blessed I'm recognized as one of them. I feel happy when any film in any language does well. How would you describe the character of Dr. Doom? STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD I got to create a character just out of voice. I won't say challenging but it was exciting.
