Son-sani khabar

Akshay Kumar’s son is yet to make his Bollywood debut. But what about Jumbo, did you ask? 
 
 That’s just it – the voice of the baby elephant in the movie is not his. It was supposed to be that way, but it didn’t happen. And the child artiste who actually has dubbed for the movie is the one from Tahaan – Purav Bhandare. He’s the one who’s done the voiceover for the younger version of Akki’s character in the film. 
 
 Navin Shah, CEO, Percept Picture Company, the producers of the film, says, “Originally, it was Aarav who was to do the voiceover, but Akshay wasn’t comfortable with that. He thought that Aarav was too young to be exposed to Bollywood, so we had to change the child artiste at the last minute. Considering Akki’s mom-in-law Dimple is also in the movie, it would’ve been great to have Aarav in it too, but Akki says, maybe in Jumbo 2.” 
 However, Khiladi Kumar has already dedicated the movie to his son. The Delhi event for the promotion, though, which was to happen tomorrow, has been delayed a bit. “The event will happen. It’s just that we are finalising the details and will soon make the venue and the date public,” says Shah.
