Priyanka Chopra Talks About Voicing Kaa In Jungle Book

Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book will have a Hindi version with voices by Om Puri, Irrfan Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Nana Patekar. A behind-the-scenes video shows ‘Quantico’ actress Priyanka enjoying her performance as Kaa, the sultry snake. She shares, “The Jungle Book has had such a huge impact in my life. It was one of my favourite movies. I remember there was a TV show called Mowgli, in Hindi”.

The actress adds, “There are so many layers to Kaa and that was what was fun for me to bring in. It’s just not a sexy, sultry voice. It’s what the voice evokes. It’s like the fly trap, the praying mantis. She brings you in, (she is) comforting, (she) feels like home. I feel like I’m a part of history, being a part of Jungle Book and that’s why I wanted to do it. It’s such an iconic film and it’s such an iconic part. Jungle Book is incomplete without these characters and I get to be a part of that and I get to be a part of history”.

The original Hollywood film has voices by Scarlett Johansson, Christopher Walken, Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley and Idris Elba. Neel Sethi plays the role of Mowgli in the flick which will be released on April 8 in the U.S. The movie is sure to take you back to your childhood!
