Avengers Endgame Tamil — Dubbed Old Iron Man Voice Updated [extra Quality]

The new Tamil voice for Iron Man was provided by (often credited as Sathish), a well-known dubbing artist and actor in the Tamil television and film industry. Sathish had previously dubbed for characters like Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and had a broader, more theatrical range.

Fans often refer to Ravi Shankar as the "real" voice of Iron Man in Tamil.

Fans who have watched both the original and Tamil dubbed versions have noted that Santhana Krishnanan's dubbing is remarkably close to Robert Downey Jr.'s original voice. The tone, pitch, and inflections are all well-matched, making it easy for fans to immerse themselves in the story.

However, for Avengers: Endgame , the voice of Iron Man was updated and replaced. The role was taken over by dubbing artist Ravi Shankar. While Shankar is a seasoned professional known for his work across South Indian cinema, the shift felt jarring to fans who had associated Menon's voice with the character’s growth. This change was particularly poignant because Endgame served as the emotional finale for Tony Stark. For many, the "old" voice represented the nostalgia of the character’s journey from 2008 to 2019.

In the face of severe criticism, Vijay Sethupathi responded with remarkable grace. Addressing the trolls and memes that were circulating, he acknowledged the backlash but stood by his effort. He said, "Many people teased me and created memes when I was dubbing for Avengers, but in due course, I learnt a lesson... If one fears the criticism without gaining the experience out of it, they have lost". He chose to view the experience as a valuable lesson in his career, focusing on the work itself rather than the negative reception.
