Talk:Double Barrel (2015 film)

Dubbed version and cast

Have there been any dubbed versions of this film? It appears that some of the persons identified in the cast were dubbing artists for the film, but there is no information about dubbed versions. For example, Poornima Indrajith is cited in a Times of India article with this quote:

We heard her via Swathi Reddy's character in the 2016 movie Double Barrel ...

The "Cast" section of Double Barrel (2015 film) lists Swathi Reddy's role as Laila and Poornima Indrajith's role as Smitha. At Swathi Reddy's page her role is identified as Laila/Babushka. At Poornima Indrajith's page, Double Barrel is listed in the "Filmography" section as one of her dubbing artist roles (actually her only dubbing artist role) in the role of Laila. I'll note that there is no source cited in that article to verify the claims that she was involved with the film and to confirm the name of the character she voiced.

I speculate that there was a dubbed version released in 2016 and that Poornim's role should have been identified as "Laila" or as "Swathi Reddy's Laila" or "Smitha (Laila in the original)" or something similar.

Does anyone have any insight on this?

In any event, if there was a dubbed version, the cast list should be divided into sub-sections for the original film and then, separately, for each dubbed version (was there more than one?). They should not all be listed in one long cast listing without regard to the version of the film in which they appeared.

What do others think?
