Dubbing career
Shakti Singh had a well known career for dubbing foreign films, with most being Hollywood films. He has voiced over a total of much more than 50 films. Whenever he performed as a protagonist's voice or an antagonist's voice, Indian consumers can possibly recognise him by sound, but he is uncredited at the end credits for Hindi-dubbed foreign movies, due to having to modify the credits by adding in the Hindi dubbing staff, being at such high cost for theatrical releases. For English-language films he has dubbed over several actors such as Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson.He also dubbed-over characters played by Indian actors for Bollywood movies, though the movies are already shot in Hindi, but due to the poor Hindi knowledge by some actors, Shakti has dubbed over for them, since the director couldn't allow them to use their real voices, since they weren't native speakers. He has also dubbed Indian movies into Hindi that were originally done in a different Indian language.
