Arjun Kapoor – Ice Age: Collision Course
Our very own Ishaqzaada, Arjun Kapoor dubbed for the voice of Buck in the Hindi version of Ice Age: Collision Course. But apart from his own voice, Arjun mimicked many actors like Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi in the film. We must say the actor is multi-talented.
