Singer and voice actor Chinmayi recently took to social media to share her experience in dubbing for Trisha in the Suriya-starrer Karuppu. The singer, who has dubbed for Trisha previously, also shared the grief she had to experience, while working on Karuppu, which was directed by RJ Balaji.
Taking to her social media handle, Chinmayi wrote, "Strange I am readying myself saying this... I was genuinely afraid this time, of sharing that I dubbed in Karuppu. I have known RJ Balaji a long time - he and his wife, are such lovely people and RJB himself, is someone whose entire life is such a story of grit, determination and a man working so, very hard to make his dreams come true. Maybe because I knew him and his family so well, that I was scared for him of what pushbacks he will get based on the experience last time with Leo."
Recounting how she felt while working on the film, the singer wrote, "I remember crying buckets dubbing a couple of scenes in the film - it was a massive trigger, almost like I saw everything play out from the past, on the big screen."
"RJ Balaji, I am grateful for the opportunity. Thank you for letting me dub for Trisha," said Chinmayi.
She concluded by writing, "And I hope Karuppu saami will help me work in my home ground, without fear and work without having to be scared of what will happen next. May God help unban me and the others who have been banned from working, for years."
Karuppu opened in theatres on May 15, and follows the story of the titular God in a lawyer avatar, fighting for reform, after called upon by believers in distress. The film also stars RJ Balaji, Natty, Swasika, Sshivadha, Anagha Maya Ravi, and Supreeth Reddy, among others.
