Vir Hirani to Voice Mowgli in Upcoming AI-Generated Feature Inspired by The Jungle Book

Vir Hirani is stepping into a fresh creative arena as he makes his foray into voice acting. The young actor has been roped in to voice the iconic character of Mowgli in an upcoming AI-generated Indian feature film inspired by The Jungle Book. Produced by Sripal Morakhia and directed by Soumitra Ranade, the project will feature a Hindi voice track.

This new venture arrives on the heels of Vir’s streaming debut as Pritam Parker in Avinash Arun’s Pritam & Pedro, alongside Arshad Warsi and Vikrant Massey. His turn in the series earned warm praise from audiences, with fans applauding his screen presence and even dubbing him the latest ‘national crush.’

Beyond his on-camera appeal, Vir’s distinct vocal texture has quickly become a talking point of its own. His baritone has reportedly attracted a wave of voice-over and dubbing offers—spanning animated projects to requests for personalized voice notes and ASMR recordings.

Taking on Mowgli allows Vir to put his own spin on a globally beloved character, relying entirely on vocal modulation, expression, and nuance to bring the role to life. The assignment offers him a chance to test a different style of performance and broaden his artistic range.

Vir’s casting reflects a wider trend of Indian actors increasingly embracing voice work in animated and tech-driven storytelling. Following the momentum of Pritam & Pedro, this AI-powered feature marks an intriguing next chapter in his evolving career.
