Mother India voice cast

The potential voice cast for Mother Rajasthan, the animated adaptation of Mother India. 

The directing rights for both Aurat and Mother India are becoming both copyright free and public domain for Indian viewers in January 2025. The rest of the world will follow ten and twenty years later. They’ve been public domain in South Africa for nearly a decade now. The parts of both screenplays written by Wajahat Mirza will have to wait until 2041, 2051 and 2061. 

Even though there were two popular golden age Bollywood actresses (Sardar Akhtar and Nargis) who played Radha in the past and who preceded Sonal Kaushal by decades, they’re just as legendary as her. I am slowly discovering her huge talent as both a voice actress and a dubbing artist (since she’s responsible for voicing Doraemon in the Hindi dub of the character’s eponymous show, Chhota Bheem and others.), thus I strongly respect her body and mind as well. 

Mother Rajasthan

Change No. 1: Despite (clearly) being set in the far east of what would become Rajasthan, the serial will simply shy away from revealing its location as something not too far from what would become the Sariska Tiger Reserve, at least until the very end. 

Change No. 2: Instead of Radha originally ageing from a young adult to a senior, she’ll be ageing from a superstitious youth to a middle aged ex-spinster, perhaps making more sense for most contemporary viewers with a good historical research record. She’ll still lose a couple of family members and friends not just to diseases, but also to various conflicts, whether look/caste/ethnicity/class/religion/skin colour related or not. Unlike her live action incarnations, she somehow has considerably more heroic morals, even though she can maim (but not directly kill) bad people who aren’t her friends or siblings, mainly in the worst scenarios. Still, she may witness one of her late friend’s brothers, a cop without empathy killing his nightmarish mum just near the end. 

Change No. 3: Radha has a family of siblings to look after since her parents are often workaholics. 

Change No. 4: The roles of Radha’s parents are greatly expanded. Despite being mere newfound friends before, both were somewhat forcibly married at the uncomfortable ages of sixteen and seventeen. While they do mean well for their offspring, they don’t like each other.
