Vinod Kulkarni started his career in 1986, when he dubbed for International productions such as Popeye. At the time, there were few contenders for such work and recognition came far easier. "We were all stars then," he recalls. "But unlike me, others would feel awkward when asked to audition for voices or imitate animals. So not many came forward," he said.[4] He also mostly dubbed for Telugu comic actor Brahmanandam in Hindi.
