Amitabh Bachchan going truly International

It has only been Bollywood that was savoring the most happening baritone voice of Mr Amitabh Bachchan but now the voice will speak to the whole world for none other than the 2006 Oscar winning documentary Penguins, A Love Story. The documentary is worldwide known as the March of the Penguins. The film’s US release had Morgan Freeman’s voice for the narrative but for its worldwide release, the producers of the film went for Mr Bachchan’s voice. “Morgan’s narration is detached and factual whereas Mr Bachchan has made it intimate, personal and searching for words to describe the incomprehensiveness of the behavior of penguins,” said filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who has written the Indian version script for Penguins, A Love Story. “I went to Mr Bachchan with the proposition he did not even take a flash of a second to agree. We are very happy that satellite has been bought by Star TV in association with National Geographic, the DVD rights of the film have been acquired by Sony BMG and the theatrical distribution of 27 prints in four languages: Hindi, English, Tamil and Telugu will be distributed by Adlabs all over India on April 13,” said producer of the documentary, Sunil Doshi. Mr Bachchan has also lent his voice to the Hindi version of the film.
