Bollywood’s young stars Sonakshi Sinha, Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt are among others who are using their talents to create their own Dubsmash videos — a lip-syncing application, which seems to be the next big thing after selfies.
Dubsmash is an application that allows users to choose an audio recording such as songs and dialogues from a list, and record a video of themselves lip-syncing to the clip.
The actors, like many global fans of the app, after recording their videos, share it on social media.
The latest celebrity to be bitten by the Dubsmash bug was Bhatt who made a video with her friend, Akansha. It has been trending as the “cutest Dubsmash video so far”.
Bhatt and her friend lip-synced to a conversation between a mother and a grumpy child who refuses put on a sweater, with Bhatt playing the role of the child.
The fun factor of app also attracted Sinha, who has shared three videos of herself so far. In the first one, she does a dialogue from her father Shatrughan Sinha’s film Mere Apne.
In the second one, she mouths a quote from Brad Pitt’s 1999 film Fight Club; and the third video sees her lip-syncing to a dialogue from cartoon Johnny Bravo.
The effervescent Singh, who is known for his carefree attitude, has shared multiple Dubsmash videos on Instagram.
Singh, along with Priyanka Chopra, was seen dubbing lines from their forthcoming film Dil Dhadakne Do.
In the video, they underwent a role reversal of sorts — the actor was seen dubbing the female part, while Chopra dubbed for the male part.
Actress Jacqueline Fernandez too tried out the trend. She, along with her sisters, lip-synced to the popular song Boom Boom Boom by Dutch pop group Vengaboys.
In his Dubsmash video, actor Ali Fazal, who was recently in Furious 7, was seen mouthing the famous dialogue “Teja main hun mark idhar hai” (I am Teja, the mark is here)”, from the 1994 film Andaz Apna Apna.
Actress Richa Chadda shared three videos, two of which feature dialogues from her film Gangs of Wasseypur, and one has her singing along to Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot.
Shruti Haasan also grabbed a chance to do a Dubsmash video, and she turned to Gabbar from the 1975 film Sholay.
