Kapil Sharma is all set to voice the hot-headed bird Red in The Angry Birds Movie 2. Sharma said in a statement, “In the West, artists first voice for their characters and based on that, the film is shot using graphics. But over here, we have to talk according to the graphics.” He further said, “He is the hero but, at times, he gets entangled in tough situations. Knowing my history, you’d agree I am Red.”
To attract the Hindi audience, Sony Pictures Entertainment India has roped in Sharma as the comedian-actor enjoys a dedicated fan following in the country.
