'WHAT? Maleficent?', that was Aaradhya Bachchan's reaction to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan dubbing for 'Mistress of Evil'

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who has dubbed for another artist for the first time has been sharing her excitement for the same. Yes, the former beauty queen has lent her voice for Angelina Jolie's character in the Hindi version of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. A trailer featuring Aishwarya was unveiled a few days ago and people do want to see her as full-fledged Maleficent role in a film. The actor even launched the trailer at an event in Mumbai on Monday.

During a recent interaction with Zoom, when Aishwarya was asked about bagging this opportunity of dubbing for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, she stated, "It was her (Aaradhya) bedtime and when I was taking her to bed, the mail came and I don’t know how I happened to look at it, maybe I was setting an alarm. And I was like ‘Why am I reading Maleficent? This is bizarre!’ and I looked at the message again and I am like, ‘Are you serious? I have been asked for Maleficent?"

On being quizzed about daughter Aaradhya Bachchan's reaction to the news, Aishwarya replied, "And she (Aaradhya) heard it because I said it aloud because I was like ‘Why is the maleficent coming on my phone?’ To which, Aaradhya shouted ‘WHAT? Maleficent?’ And I said that the movie is done and I am not playing the part. Then I said it aloud to her that I have been asked to do the voiceover for the Hindi version. And Aaradhya was like ‘Still! It’s Maleficent!’ so we both smiled."

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is slated to release on October 18, 2019.
