When 'Peddi' star Ram Charan dubbed for Salman Khan in the Telugu version of 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo,' titled 'Prema Leela'
Cross-industry collaborations in Indian cinema have often led to some unexpected and memorable moments. One such instance dates back to 2015, when ‘ Prem Ratan Dhan Payo ’ made its way to regional audiences. While the film itself had already created buzz, its Telugu version ‘ Prema Leela ’ added an interesting twist. What caught everyone’s attention was an unusual creative choice linked to the dubbed version. It ended up becoming one of those rare moments that fans still talk about.
In an industry where dubbing is usually handled by professional voice artists, Ram Charan’s involvement came as a surprise. According to Money Control, he dubbed for Salman Khan in ‘Prema Leela’, adding a unique layer to the film’s Telugu release. The decision was seen as special, not just because of their star power, but also because of the mutual respect the two actors share.
The collaboration wasn’t purely professional. Ram Charan and Salman Khan have shared a warm equation over the years, which reportedly influenced this decision. Fans viewed it as a gesture of camaraderie rather than a routine dubbing assignment, making the moment even more memorable for audiences across both industries.
