He lent his voice for both Bahubali characters, Mahendra and Amendra Bahubali and aptly modulated his voice for both characters that were essayed on screen by Prabhas.

Niti Mathur and Smita Malhotra – Devsena

Anushka Shetty was incredible as both the old Devasena and the young warrior princess in both films. Niti Mathur lent her strong voice to Devsena in the first film. For the second film however, the makers hired Smita Malhotra who has also been a TV actress. They needed a modulated voice for the young Devsena and thus went in for a change.

Samay Raj Thakkar – Kattapa

There were several shades to Kattapa’s character, from being the feisty warrior of Maheshmati to the loyal slave to the throne, Stahyaraj did a commendable job at it on screen.

He has also dubbed for Hollywood films like The Avengers, Zero Dark Thirty, King Arthur, The Dark Knight Rises.

Deepak Sinha  - Bijjaladeva 

The cunning father of Bhallaladeva in the film, Nassar almost convinced us with his acting abilities in the film. But behind the scenes it was actor and dubbing artist Deepak Sinha who made the shrewd the character even more convincing.

Mausam – Shivagami

The queen of the Mashehmati empire, Shivagami’s authoritative word had to be the final one. For such a strong character was required a strong actor which S.S. Rajamouli found in Ramya Krishna and then found her Hindi counterpart in Mausam who is a theatre actress and a voice over artist. Well her fiery voice totally nailed the character requirements.

Tamanah Bhatia –Avantika

The actress played Avantika on screen and garnered and insane fan following for the role in 2015. Well, after having worked in a couple of Bollywood films herself, Tamanah Bhatia chose to lend her own voice to her character instead of a dubbing artist.
