'Rio 2', the sequel to 2011's hit animation film, 'Rio' will see two Bollywood actors voice the main characters for the dubbed Hindi version.
Imran had watched 'Rio' and he found it fantastic when it released couple of years ago.
"The macaw Blu is a complete delight on-screen and when I was approached to voice Blu in 'Rio 2' I readily agreed to be a part of the film. Though I have always admired animations from a viewer's point of view, this time with 'Rio 2' I learnt about many fascinating elements that combine to make the final stellar film.
"I also got a chance to sing a few lines of Blu in the movie for a party sequence that was an awesome moment," he said.
Sonakshi Sinha and Imran have lent their voices as macaws Jewel and Blu respectively, for 'Rio 2' releasing on April 11.
The English version of the movie will have voices of Anne Hathaway and Jesse Eisenberg.
