Priyanka Chopra, Irrfan Khan and Nana Patekar to lend their voices to 'The Jungle Book'

Mowgli, Bagheera, Baloo, Kaa and Shere Khan, the characters from 'The Jungle Book', may have found their voices in India. Sources say that Priyanka Chopra, Irrfan, Nana Patekar, Shefali Shah and Om Puri have reportedly agreed to dub for the live action feature's Hindi version.

PC is currently on a roll in the West. Between shooting for 'Quantico' and 'Baywatch', our desi supergirl is also the first choice when it comes to dubbing for popular animation characters. Earlier, she was the voice of Ishani in 'Planes', a 2013 animation film. Now, in 'The Jungle Book', she is all set to be 'Kaa', the sultry python, who has been essayed by Scarlett Johansson in the original. While Bill Murray has lent his voice to 'Baloo', the friendly bear, Irrfan will do the same back home. Shefali Shah will be 'Raksha', the wolf, portrayed by Lupita Nyong'o in the Hollywood film. And guess what? Om Puri and Ben Kingsley are 'Bagheera', the panther, in the Hindi and English versions respectively. There is more. Nana Patekar will be the cavernous tone of 'Shere Khan', the tiger and self-professed ruler of the jungle, played by Idris Elba in the original.
