Ranveer Singh is known for his funny and quirky mannerisms, which is why the makers of the Ryan Reynolds film 'Deadpool 2' wanted Ranveer to be the Hindi voice of the character. With multiple Bollywood stars lending their voices to the dubbed versions of Hollywood films, it was only a matter of time before one was offered to Ranveer. According to sources, Ranveer is the Deadpool of India going by his mannerisms and quirks. The makers wanted to tap into his star power to give 'Deadpool' — a character with urban appeal — a wider reach and affinity in local Hindi-speaking territories.
“Ranveer was extremely keen but he just couldn’t make time in his 'Gully Boy' schedule as he is shooting at night every day,” the source added. Ranveer had to, unfortunately, turn down the offer as he is busy shooting for Zoya Akhtar's 'Gully Boy' in which he plays the role of a rapper. So although he really wanted to do the part, he had to let it go to fulfill his other commitments. Well, it certainly would have been a blast hearing Ranveer's voice in the Hindi dubbed version of 'Deadpool 2'. Looks like we'll just have to wait for another exciting offer to come up to him. Stay tuned for more updates.
