(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is reportedly learning Arabic to dub the lines for her upcoming movie, 'Jazbaa'. Directed by Sanjay Gupta of 'Kaante' fame, the film is slated for an international release - dubbed in various languages.
Talking to the Times of India, Gupta said: "There are cuts of the film being readied, dubbed and released widely all across the UAE. It's been dubbed in Arabic. We're also dubbing it in other South American languages (Spanish and Portuguese) and English. So there are international cuts with a slighter shorter length that will be going out apart from the diaspora release."

According to popular entertainment website, bollywoodhungama.com, the Filmfare award winning actress "feels another voice would ruin her performance in Jazbaa. And the film is very important to her, as she's made a comeback after three years. She can't afford to let anyone or anything spoil it for her," said a reliable source.
'Jazbaa' is touted to be the first Indian film to be dubbed into Arabic.
The filmmaker, commenting on why he wanted the film dubbed in Arabic, said: "This is for the huge Arabic market for Bollywood cinema. And we have the channel Zee Arabia as a platform to promote the film."
It was earlier reported that Akshay Kumar, too, had learnt Arabic for his upcoming movie based on a true story, 'Airlift'.
