"What makes it even more special is that I will get to meet and interact closely with the man himself; Jon Favreau! He's helming the project and has made some of my favourite movies in recent times and I'm really glad that I'm getting an opportunity to get a peek into his creative world and share some fun moments with him," he added.

Malik and singer Sunidhi Chauhan have been roped in for Hindi tracks for Disney's upcoming live-action project "The Lion King". He will be lending his musical touch to "Hakuna matata" and also a duet with Sunidhi.

"The Jungle Book" fame director Favreau has re-imagined the world of Disney's classic to bring alive a live-action film. He has stayed true to the classic story of Simba and used pioneering and game changing photo-real technology, using cutting-edge tools to make the musical drama come alive on the big screen.

The film will release in India on July 19 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
