Coke Dubbing-Aamir Khan

Well,the year started with when Aamir khan stuck in Delhi when he was shooting or Rang de basanti,and at the same time he had to dub for a coke commercial (The Mannu Bhabhi campaign by Prasoon Joshi).So our studio was hired and the coke commercial dubbing was done in an 8 hour stretch with the director and prasoon.It was fun,...got to see how our own Indian actors dubbed the double role,since Aamir had to dub as himself and also as mannu bhabhi.Good Experience.

UK ,Project Documentary on "Indian Elephants”

Taking the Internet usage to it's limits in live monitoring, we used Skype software this time for the Director sitting in United Kingdom listening to each and every take given by Mr Roshan Seth. The director could talk to Roshan directly and he could listen to Roshan clearly for the dubbing process to carry on.It was very interesting as no delay happened and the project was finished very smoothly
