Rasika Dugal, Prateik Babbar to voice Audible Original titled The Last Girl to Fall in Love

Rasika Dugal and Prateik Babbar are lending their voices to Durjoy Datta’s sequel, The Last Girl to Fall in Love.

The Audible Original is a sequel to the author’s The Last Boy to Fall in Love, which was narrated by Dugal and Sikander Kher in English and Barun Sobti in Hindi.

Datta’s story is set in an alternate universe where women are in power. A synopsis of the title states, “[Women] write the rules, and men follow them. Times have changed and the world has eroded into a gender revolution. A bizarre case of murder draws Manav, Sarita, and Sandhya into a universe of intrigue, suspense, and delusion.”

In a press release, Datta said, “It’s been fabulous to put out a sequel to The Last Boy to Fall in Love — Rasika and Prateik’s voices really bring it to life. What I love the most about working with Audible is how their expertise on audio, production and technology bring alive my writing — the end result is a treat for listeners! I’m excited to see how they embrace this new novel, available free for members on Audible.”

Dugal, who is working with Audible for the third time, said it is fun working on an Audiobook. “Usually, as an actor, there are so many tools at one's disposal to create something,” she said. “But here you only have your voice. Working with my voice in isolation is a very interesting experience for me. It pushes me to learn something new each time. This book by Durjoy is a page turner and I am delighted to have lent my voice to a woman like Sandhya. I am sure audiophiles will love this new, Audible exclusive offering.”

Babbar, who is new to audio narration, said he was hooked already. “I’m used to emoting on screen, but the first time in my life, I got to unlock the power of my voice,” he exclaimed. “Recording The Last Girl to Fall in Love was an extremely gratifying experience for me as an artist — the book is great, the dialogues are well-written and the parallel universe storyline, gripping to say the least. I can’t wait to see how my fans react to it!”

The Last Girl to Fall in Love is now available free for Audible.in members.
