The Bollywood star lends her voice to Judy Hopps, continuing JioStar’s mission of localising global entertainment for Indian audiences.
JioStar, through its studio division Star Studio18, has announced a collaboration with Disney to localise the much-awaited animated sequel Zootopia 2 in Hindi. The partnership features Shraddha Kapoor as the Hindi voice of Judy Hopps, the spirited and determined police officer beloved by audiences worldwide.
With this move, JioStar reinforces its leadership in entertainment marketing and localisation, bringing global stories closer to India’s multilingual and culturally rich audiences. Known for blending international narratives with local sentiment, JioStar continues to champion campaigns that combine emotional authenticity, cultural relevance, and star power.
“Judy Hopps is a character I deeply relate to – she’s courageous, optimistic, and never gives up, no matter how tough things get,” said Shraddha Kapoor. “Bringing her to life in Hindi has been such a joyful experience. I’m thrilled to be part of Zootopia 2 and can’t wait for audiences to experience this exciting collaboration.”
A JioStar spokesperson added, “Our goal has always been to strengthen the connection between global stories and Indian audiences by presenting them in the languages they love and through talent they relate to. Zootopia resonated deeply with Indian fans for its heartfelt storytelling. With Zootopia 2, we’re building on that legacy, and Shraddha’s voice brings a fresh, relatable energy to Judy Hopps for Hindi-speaking audiences.”
As part of the campaign, JioStar has released a special behind-the-scenes video featuring Shraddha Kapoor channeling Judy Hopps’ infectious energy and determination – a glimpse into how the character’s personality transcends language.
Zootopia 2 is slated for release in Indian theatres on November 28, in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, further cementing JioStar’s vision to make global cinema accessible, relatable, and celebrated across India’s diverse linguistic landscape.
