Actor Irrfan Khan's dubbing for character Baloo from 'The Jungle Book' has got a thumbs up from the audience.
When asked if the actor wanted to dub for any other character from the animated film, Irrfan told media in the national capital, "The makers of The Jungle Book had first offered me to dub for Sher Khan, but I asked them to make me watch the film first. I saw the rough cut and decided that I will dub for Baloo because its character was like Irrfan Khan on steroids."
"I loved Baloo's character and I also have a strange relationship with kids. Nothing excites me the way kids do. I just wanted to entertain them", added the 'Piku' star.
The 49-year-old actor also revealed during interactions with the media that he would love to do a film like 'Pirates of the Caribbean'.
Irrfan Khan will again be seen in a Hollywood film titled 'Inferno' in October 2016 along with Hollywood star Tom Hanks.
