Singer Tushar Joshi described the experience of lending his voice to actor Ranbir Kapoor in his film Jagga Jasoos as “priceless”.
In the film, Jagga (played by Kapoor) solves crimes, but his stammer means he needs to sing to convey his thoughts smoothly.
Joshi is the singing voice of Kapoor; which means when Jagga is sad, happy or eccentric, Joshi, also an assistant to music director Pritam Chakraborty, had to emote with his voice.
“Working for Pritam da is an amazing journey itself. Every day, I am learning something new. I am grateful to be a part of this magical film. And of course, I am thankful to Pritam da and Anurag [Basu] da for this massive opportunity. The experience of singing for Jagga has been priceless,” said Joshi.
The hunt for Jagga’s voice went on for months until Chakraborty and director Basu were convinced that Joshi has cracked the character of Jagga through his voice.
Joshi, a Mumbai-based singer, has also lent his voice for the film’s two songs — Musafir and Khaana Khaake.
