For the first time ever, Salman Khan has given his voice for an animated character in animated film "Hanuman Da Damdaar" Ruchi Narain, the director of film was quoted saying, "When I went to him with the story, he reacted like, 'What is this Da Dumdaar?' but as I started narrating the story, I think he liked it. So, he did it."

"He was very involved. He listened to the story three to four times to get the character, speaking style and everything right. So as an audience, when we watch the film, one can see a little swag of Salman Khan in Hanuman's character. He gave the character a different dimension," he added.

Raveena Tandon, Vinay Pathak and Kunal Kemmu, Javed Akhtar have given their voices to the film. "I don't blame them as most of the time, Indian animated films don't match high quality and content. At times, animation films are quite silly. So, people have a notion that animation films, which are for kids have no good stories, with half baked characters. In this film, I attempted to get that correct," director also said.

The film will release on May 19.
