Ibrahim Ali Khan’s ‘Nadaaniyan’ VA Not Credited for His Work?
Amid the surprising AI revelation, a post on Reddit has gone viral, where it was alleged that Ibrahim's voice artiste for Nadaaniyan received no credit for his work. A post shared on BollyBlindsNGossip claimed that a professional VA who has dubbed in Hindi for a few Disney movies was selected for the dubbing. The post read, "The VA was chosen because his voice matched Ibrahim's real voice. But Ibrahim was so poor with his expressions & body language that it became apparent to avid streaming users after watching that something was amiss. As the VA was used to do voice-over for professional actors & well-animated characters, he found it really hard to coordinate with Ibrahim's lack of energy and vibe."

Truth is Different?
The story had first appeared in Tellychakkar who now has mysteriously taken it down at the time of writing this article. According to sources close to the project, they claim that the story isn't true - Ibrahim's voice wasn't changed using any AI software but with a proper dubbing artiste. The source revealed, "During the making of Nadaaniyan, Ibrahim Ali Khan’s voice was dubbed to enhance his performance. Dharma Productions played a key role in this process, working closely with Ibrahim and a talented voice artist to refine his vocal delivery and ensure clarity in his lines. The collaboration was so integral that the voice artist has been rightfully credited in the film’s credit block as well."
While the makers aren't forthcoming about who the dubbing artiste is, the artistes mentioned during the end credits are below.
The Gen-Z rom-com backed by Karan Johar's Dharmatic Entertainment also features Suniel Shetty, Mahima Chaudhry, Dia Mirza and Jugal Hansraj in key roles.
