Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to speak in Arabic for ‘Jazbaa’

Bollywood beauty Aishwarys Rai Bachchan is making a comeback after a long hiatus. The Diva will soon be seen in Sanjay Gupta’s upcoming thriller ‘Jazbaa’. Good news for Aishwarys Rai Bachchan’s Arabic fans for the divas film will be dubbed in Arabic for markets in Yemen, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as well as parts of southern Iraq and Jordan — which collectively form the Arabian Peninsula, also known as Arabia.

Sanjay Gupta said, “Releasing it in Arabia was Essel Vision’s Business Head Akash Chawla’s brainchild. Zee Arabia is the biggest satellite channel in the Arabian peninsula and to have a platform as big as that, is wonderful. It’s certainly a first-of-its-kind release. The way the film is structured — it’s a hard-core, fast-paced, action thriller — makes it even better. That market is very receptive to this kind of cinema. It’s time to explore the non-traditional markets for films now. Everybody wants to see good movies. PK was released in China and went on to gross Rs100 crore there. Who’d have thought the Chinese would love a film considered anti-religious in India?”

Gupta added “The end credit song (the title track), composed by Sachin-Jigar, will be shot with a top Arabic singer there after which we will release it also as a promotional video in Arabia. We are still to shoot the Hindi track. For the dubbing bit, Zee has shortlisted some companies and will be selecting from the best vocal talent they have. Jazbaa is a bilingual, but not the typical kind!”

So get ready to groove in Arabic with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan soon.
