Peter Baykov takes us to a new film adventure

The young star of dubbing in Bulgaria - actor Peter Baykov, embraced the challenge to voice a film adaptation of the novel by English writer John Bunyan - "The Pilgrim's Progress". One of the most popular stories of all time, which sounds extremely relevant today, comes to life in a unique way through animation as all vocal roles are performed by Peter. The US-Bulgarian full-length animated movie will be released on April 8 in cinemas across the country.

"When the U.S producers contacted me to voice the film, I felt that this was my mission, because the message it carries is very strong - to be spiritual and inspired by life. For me, the movie is a path to goodness," Baykov says in an interview with BNR’s "Hristo Botev" programme.
