Warsi dubs for Johnny Depp
Actor Arshad Warsi has been roped in to dub for Hollywood actor Johnny Depp's popular character Captain Jack Sparrow for the Hindi version of upcoming fantasy film Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge.
“I am very fond of this character. It's a major challenge to do this. It's not easy to dub him,” Arshad said.
“It was a challenge to dub him (Depp) when he was drunk in the scenes. It's hard to play a drunk man. Altogether, I am fond of this franchise and looking forward to more of it,” added Arshad.
‘I'm shocked to be 70! I keep thinking I'm younger, and I feel that inside! It was kind of a strange moment, that milestone. The secret — honestly, I think is staying engaged and staying curious and having a good time. Also, I guess good genes. I thank my mother.’

Vivek Oberoi who will be seen playing a tough cop in his forthcoming film, Bank Chor, took inspiration from his father, veteran actor Suresh Oberoi.
“My father has played the role of a police officer in several films. I was inspired by his towering personality, his rich baritone, and the execution of these roles. Since I play a cop in my next, watching few of his films helped,” Vivek said.
Sources suggest, Vivek discussed this idea with his father, who was surprised to know that his casual look had inspired him so much.
