Kriti Sanon has added a voice credit to her filmography, dubbing the Hindi version of the international film Obsession. The project, announced through her social media this week, brings a new layer to how the film will reach Indian audiences: two promotional scenes featuring Sanon’s voice are already out.
A dubbing room that turned into a reunion
Sanon’s post made the session feel like a homecoming. Bhediya co-star Varun Dhawan and director Amar Kaushik were in the room, and she leaned into the film’s wolf-pack vocabulary. “When the Wolfpack gets Obsessed!” she wrote, describing it as “nostalgic to be back on set with my bhediyas (even if it was just for a day).” The line, and its “I Wolf you guys!” sign-off, gives a dubbing update an emotional register that is rare.
Why star-led dubbing matters
For Hindi cinema followers, this is not simply a translation job. When a well-known actor lends their voice to an international title, the Hindi version becomes its own marketing event. The voice is recognisable, the actor’s fans are invited in, and the film enters the local conversation differently than a routine dub would. Known voices can make clips, reels and trailer moments travel further on social platforms. In this case, Sanon’s presence also links an unfamiliar title to a known Hindi-film property: Bhediya.
Sanon made the performance itself the centre of her endorsement. She wrote that Indena Varrette was “beyonddd phenomenal in Obsession and gave me goosebumps yet again in the dubbing room,” and called the film one with “extraordinary performances.”
What we know so far
- Kriti Sanon has voiced the Hindi version of Obsession.
- Two promotional scenes featuring her voice are already public.
- The session reunited her with Varun Dhawan and Amar Kaushik from Bhediya.
- Sanon singled out Indena Varrette’s performance as the standout.
The nostalgia angle is the hook
For audiences, the most shareable part of this news may be the reunion, not the dub itself. Bhediya gave Sanon, Dhawan and Kaushik a shared creative history, and the announcement deliberately plays to that memory. The dubbing room becomes a small reunion, and a behind-the-scenes detail carries the announcement much further than a straightforward voice-casting note would.
No release date for the Hindi presentation of Obsession has been specified in the source. For now, the two scenes and Sanon’s posts are the first public look at how the international project will sound to Hindi-speaking viewers. That also makes the released scenes the main evidence audiences have for evaluating the localisation.
