Chris Evans and Varun Dhawan
After Priyanka Chopra voiced Kaa from the iconic 'The Jungle Book', it's time for Varun Dhawan to don the mantle — literally. The actor has been roped in to voice the larger than life character of the American superhero from Marvel's cinematic universe — Captain America. In a statement released recently Varun had said, "Captain America is a matured and a balanced leader which is something that I am not. So, that made it all the more challenging for me. 'Captain America: Civil War' is bigger, better and the action is huge."

Varun, elated with the admiration coming his way, says that the process was creatively satisfying. "I think it's pretty cool that he got to see it (trailer) and liked it because eventually he is Captain America and I tried to maintain his tone, so if he's happy with the voice then I'm happy," he says.
He adds, "I can't wait for India to watch it. I wasn't sure of how it would turn out and worked on my voice with Mona Shetty. I really loved the character since I haven't played something like this here. So more than the praise I am getting, I'm happy because this is creatively satisfying and that is the biggest joy an actor or any creative person can get."
