, now multilingual star
Prakash Raj has made his debut on the channel by giving voiceover for the documentary 'Wild Karnataka'.
The documentary show that captures the flora and fauna of the forests of Karnataka is all set to be premiered on June 5th at 8 p.m for the
World Environment Day. Interestingly, Prakash Raj is lending his voice for the Tamil and the Telugu versions, while Bollywood actor Rajkumar Rao and actor Rishabh Shetty will be doing the Hindi and Kannada voiceovers.
Taking to his Twitter handle, the actor wrote, “A meaningful journey..to have been a voice of nature #WildKarnataka, painstakingly made, showcases India’s wildlife in a way that has never been done before. Proud to have narrated in Tamil & Telugu languages @DiscoveryIn.”
Prakash Raj said, “I connect with the ethos of the show – celebrating the rich bio-diversity that is prevalent in India. The magnitude of this wild based magnum opus can be gauged from the fact that this hour-long documentary is sieved from four hundred hours of shot footage. To use one’s craft for raising awareness about the beauty and the diversity of our natural heritage is a beautiful thing and now it is up to us, the viewers and the citizens of India to not only celebrate this beauty but also work towards taking care of it.”
This documentary is produced by award-winning filmmakers Amoghavarsha JS and Kalyan Varma in collaboration with Karnataka Forest Department.
