| Actor | Role | Why It Works | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Baagga (Leopard) | His deep, gravelly voice lends perfect gravitas to the protective father figure. | | Urmila Matondkar | Yuvraj (Parrot) | Energetic and sharp, she brings the sass required for the film’s conscience-keeper. | | Akshaye Khanna | Sultan (Bear) | His deadpan, lethargic delivery creates some of the film’s funniest moments. | | Paresh Rawal | Bajrangi (Monkey) | Rawal’s trademark Gujarati-accented comedy is a laugh riot. | | Vijay Raaz | Begum (Leopardess) | Raaz voicing a pregnant female leopard? It sounds bizarre, but his emotional range is stellar. | | Boman Irani | Chhota Mullah (Pigeon) | A delightful cameo that adds political satire. |
