Maniesh Paul to voice Kristoff in Hindi version of Frozen 2

Actor Maniesh Paul has joined the voice cast of the Hindi version of Disney's Frozen 2. He will be dubbing for Kristoff, who was voiced by Jonathan Groff in the English version.

"Its extremely overwhelming to be the voice of Kristoff. My daughter is such a huge fan of the franchise that I must admit that it took me some time to compose myself and understand that I was doing this for her. I hope that audiences love this side of me as they revel in the most-awaited Disney film of the year," Maniesh said in a statement.

The other members of the voice cast include Priyanka Chopra and Parineeti Chopra, who will be voicing for Elsa and Anna, respectively.

Disney India has roped in big names for the various regional versions of Frozen 2 as well. While Shruti Haasan and Divyadarshini voice Elsa and Anna, respectively, in the Tamil version, Nithya Menen will be voicing Elsa in the Telugu version. 

Directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, Frozen 2 will be released in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu this Friday.
