Dubbing career Singh had a well-known career in dubbing foreign films, most coming from Hollywood. He has voiced over a total of more than 50 films. When performing as a protagonist's voice or an antagonist's voice, Indian consumers often recognize him just by his voice. However, he is uncredited for Hindi-dubbed foreign movies due to the high cost of modifying theatrical releases. He has dubbed several actors such as Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson for English-language films.
