Veteran actor Anupam Kher has lent his voice to this character.
Tezzbuzz Desk – Anupam Kher has revealed the hard work he put in for the character of Jatayu. Recently, while talking to Variety India, he told that when he was shown the footage of the film for the first time, he became very emotional. According to Anupam Kher, he had even canceled the dubbing of the first day.
He told that he was shown a portion of about 8 to 10 minutes of the film. After this, when Jatayu's scenes were shown, he was completely stunned and asked to take a break for some time.
Anupam Kher told that the character of Jatayu was not easy. This is a bird that is brave, old, dying and has fought a tremendous battle with Ravana. One has to put one's soul and heart completely into such a character.
Anupam Kher worked closely with director Nitish Tiwari during the dubbing session. Producer Namit Malhotra also participated in one of the sessions. The special thing was that in this project he did not have any reference of any old performance for the character of Jatayu.
According to Anupam Kher, Nitish Tiwari had a special emotional direction for the character of Jatayu. He wanted the relationship between Jatayu and Lord Rama to seem very personal and emotional, so that Jatayu's efforts to save Sita would seem more heart-touching.
For this reason, Anupam Kher rehearsed about 200 times before finalizing the last two words of the film 'Hey Ram'. He told that even though it is a short line, it was necessary to keep the voice and emotions exactly right according to Jatayu's condition at that time.
Anupam Kher told that this emotional part can be felt in the entire fight and the entire film. He also told that after watching Jatayu's scene, Yash's son had asked him, 'Why did you kill this bird?'
