Reigning South Indian actress Priyamani does not regret that she did not get the prestigious Kerala State Award for the Best Actress for Thirakatha. The jury refused to consider her as she had not dubbed the film by herself. (The trophy eventually went to Priyanka.) At the same time, she is very keen to dub in her own voice, Priyamani says.
"I have been craving to dub in my own voice in my films, but it is up to the director to use my voice. I know I could not dub for Thirakatha because I was busy and the film unit was not able to wait for me to finish the dubbing work. And I don't feel sorry for missing the award also because if I was destined to get the award, I would have got it even otherwise," Priyamani was quoted as saying.
Priyamani, who is all set to don the lead role in the Telugu remake of Naadodigal, says that she has not dubbed for any Telugu films so far. "I have not dubbed even for my first Kannada film Raam opposite Puneet Raj Kumar. Many directors generally feel that my voice doesn't suit the characters. But many top Hindi actresses like Rani Mukerji are dubbing in their own voices despite having a screechy voice like me. It is up to the directors to use my voice or not. I cannot force it because ultimately it is the director's discretion to choose voices."
