Director Chris Renaud shared his thoughts on Gru, the lead character voiced by Steve Carell, saying “I mean, basically he is Gru! It’s impossible to imagine what that character would be without Steve’s voice. He’s also very thoughtful and caring about the role and the performance, always having a point of view about it and being almost protective. Steve Carell inhabits the character of Gru and wants it to be the absolute best it can be. When we schedule a recording session, which can be up to three hours long, I can tell you that he delivers so much energy every time. I’ve known him for a long time and he’s just an absolute pleasure to work with.”
Despicable Me 4 is the mega animated blockbuster with wholesome fun!
Catch Gru and Gang with the new Mega Minions, available in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu in theatres on 5th July 2024.
