Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will lend her voice for Hollywood star Angelina Jolie’s character in Disneys Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil" in Hindi.
The central character Maleficent is voiced by Jolie in the original version of the much-awaited sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, which is a tale of good versus evil. "Looking at how Angelina Jolie fits Maleficent's role down to the letter, it was hard to imagine anyone else essaying the character other than Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for our local audience. We wanted to build a strong connect and bring her character to life in Hindi and felt Aishwarya's persona, which is filled with elegance and poise would be a perfect blend," said Bikram Duggal, Head - Studio Entertainment, Disney India.
Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil releases in English and Hindi in theatres across India on October 18. —IANS
