Kapil Sharma voices Red in Angry Birds Movie 2

Actor-comedian Kapil Sharma has voiced ‘Red’ in the Hindi version of Angry Birds Movie 2. The second installment in the blockbuster animation franchise is releasing in India on August 23. 

“In the West, artists first voice for their characters and based on that, the film is shot using graphics. But over here, we have to talk according to the graphics,” said Kapil, pointing out the difference between dubbing and VO work. 

The actor jokes he finds his on-screen character, the hotheaded, reclusive Red, relatable. "He is the hero but, at times, he gets entangled in tough situations. Knowing my history, you’d agree I am Red.” 

Kapil promises that audiences will not be disappointed with his version of Red. “The producers (Sony Pictures Entertainment India) expected me to scale up the humour and I have but it’s very situational. In fact, there are times when the character’s anger will make people laugh."
