Beijing, May 26 -- Bollywood actor Aamir Khan's movie PK hit screens across 4,600 theatres in China last Friday to a phenomenal opening. The Bollywood hit has popular Chinese actor Wang Baoqiang dubbing for the Indian star in Mandarin.
Wang might not be a known face for Indians, but it might surprise you if you're told that he is often touted as the next Jackie Chan - a star skilled in martial arts, coupled with a sharp sense of humour. He is also good at playing the quick-witted, naive hero.
The 31-year-old actor with around two dozen films to his credit spoke to HT about dubbing for Aamir - his first for another actor - and directing and acting in a joint production that would take him to India later this year.
"I sprained my ankle before the dubbing.So, I had to stretch my leg over the chair during the entire schedule. But I put my heart and soul into it. Sometimes, I could not help but laugh out loud and at times, I was moved to tears by the character," Wang said.
Luckily for Wang and his sprained ankle, the dubbing took just two days. However, he says he took a liking for the 'alien' in the movie, called 'My Lord' in Chinese.
"I was deeply moved by the alien character and the way Aamir acted. I could almost touch the dramatic tension from his eyes," Wang said, adding that from the very beginning of the movie, he could relate to the character's helplessness as well as sincerity.
The Chinese actor said he was deeply impressed by Aamir's acting. "I highly appreciate Aamir not only because he could deal with the character of 'human beings' like in 3 idiots but also that he could play the role of an Alien amazingly well. If ever I get a chance to play a role in a sci-f film, I will learn it from him," Wang said.
