Among the many special things that have happened to Saif this year, the animation project with Yash Raj Films definitely ranks as a whammer. Says Saif, "It was fun doing the voice for Roadside Romeo. To dub for an animation film is very challenging and very different from dubbing for a normal feature film. A lot of emotions have to be conveyed through the voice. And I think I've managed pretty well, given the fact that I've never dubbed for an animation character before."
Saif is very happy with the way the dubbing for the promo of Roadside Romeo has come out. "I worked very hard on getting it rightâ¦.you know, all those impersonations of Mr. Bachchan, Gabbar Singh, etc.â But the perfectionist that he is, Saif has decided to re-dub for his first animation film, as he feels he could do it much better, one more time. âI'd like to dub the rest of the film all over again as soon as I get some time," states Saif.

Download Jodhaa Akbar wallpapers
Certain sections of the Rajput community in Rajasthan have raised an objection on Ashutosh Gowarikar's magnum opus Jodhaa Akbar. According to them, the argument is that, historically speaking, Jodhaa was not Akbar's wife. In fact, they she was not even a Jaipur princess, though she hailed from Jodhpur and was the wife of Jehangir. Moreover, Gowarikar is hurting the sentiments of Rajput to no end, by twisting history.
But all is not lost for Ashutosh, as he is supported by the royal families of Jaipur and Kishangarh. They have extended their support to him by digging out some of the old original historical records to prove that Akbar married a Jaipur princess.
Meanwhile, Maharani Padmini Devi, a member of the Jaipur Royal family, went on record to say that they had gone through the script before Ashutosh started filming and that the âmahuratâ shot was taken in Jaipur itself. She also added that if at all they had found anything objectionable, then, they wouldnât have given their nod for the same.
The latest reports say that the Karni Sena, a Rajput organization based in Jaipur, has threatened to prevent the film from being released in Rajasthan. Meanwhile, a battalion of youths from the Rajput community staged a protest demonstration and shouted slogans against Ashutosh. They further intensified their protests by burning promotional posters of the film. Source: Indiafm.com News | 2 Feb 2008 | 12:42 pm
