Actor Karthi transforms into his quirky character in the upcoming Tamil-language film Japan in a fun video that announces the start of the dubbing sessions for the Raju Murugan-helmed action comedy.

Unveiled by Dream Warrior Pictures on Wednesday, the one-minute-17-second-long video shows the Kaithi actor repeatedly failing to come up with the required voice modulation while dubbing a line for his upcoming film. “Something is missing in it,” the filmmaker keeps telling Karthi, who gets flustered and leaves the recording room. He, however, comes back, all decked up in the character costume and wig to deliver the dialogue with swag.

Earlier, the makers had released a teaser video of the film to reveal Karthi’s character, who introduces himself as “Japan, made in India”.

Helmed by Raju Murugan, Japan is produced by S.R. Prakash Babu and S.R. Prabu. Apart from Karthi, it also stars Anu Emmanuel, Sunil, Vijay Milton and Vaagai Chandrasekar.

Japan is supposed to arrive in cinemas on Diwali, though the makers are yet to announce the exact date.
