Over the years, several actors have taken up the exciting challenge of voice acting, giving life to animated animals through their voice alone. Whether it was a wise lion, a charming crow, or a clever python, these stars added personality, emotion, and charm to their characters. Here’s a look at actors who impressed audiences by voicing animal characters in films and made those roles truly memorable.
1. Shah Rukh Khan – The Lion King
Shah Rukh Khan voiced the powerful Mufasa in the Hindi version of The Lion King. With his deep and expressive voice, he gave the character a majestic and emotional presence. His scenes with Simba stood out, especially since his real-life son Aryan Khan voiced the younger lion. SRK’s performance added both warmth and strength to this much-loved animated classic.
2. Priyanka Chopra – The Jungle Book
Priyanka Chopra voiced the mysterious python Kaa in the Hindi adaptation of The Jungle Book. Her smooth and hypnotic voice brought a magical yet eerie feel to the role. She added a strong screen presence, purely through voice, and perfectly captured the character’s calm yet dangerous charm. Her performance added an extra layer of depth to the animated tale.
3. Malhar Thakar – Fakt Purusho Maate
Popular Gujarati actor Malhar Thakar lent his voice to the clever crow ‘Kaagesh’ in Fakt Purusho Maate, which is now streaming on the JOJO App, a leading platform dedicated to premium Gujarati content. His voice brought wit, charm, and humour to the animated character, making Kaagesh a memorable part of the fantasy comedy. The film also featured Yash Soni, Darshan Jariwala, and Amitabh Bachchan in a special appearance, and followed a fun, magical tale of family and tradition.
4. Imran Khan – Rio
Imran Khan gave his voice to Blu, the nervous and lovable macaw, in the Hindi version of Rio. His youthful and cheerful voice added fun and relatability to the colourful bird, who goes on a big adventure to discover his wild side. Imran’s performance made Blu even more endearing to young Indian audiences, adding a local flavour to the vibrant film.
5 Govinda – Delhi Safari
Govinda gave voice to Bajrangi, a feisty monkey in Delhi Safari. With his trademark comic timing and high energy, Govinda made Bajrangi fun, loud, and lovable. His lively voice work added humour and spark to the film, making Bajrangi one of the most entertaining characters in this environmental-themed animation.
