The first time Shah Rukh Khan dubbed for the Hindi version of a Hollywood film was The Incredibles (2004). Five years ago, he teamed up with son Aryan for The Lion King (2019). The superstar lent his voice to the protagonist, Mufasa, and his son to Simba. The upcoming sequel, Mufasa: The Lion King, sees SRK join hands with his two sons, Aryan and AbRam. While SRK reprises the grown-up Mufasa and Aryan returns as Simba, AbRam makes his debut as the young Mufasa. Talking about his association with the franchise, the Jawan (2023) actor said, “Mufasa has an incredible legacy and stands as the ultimate king of the jungle, imparting his wisdom to his son, Simba. I deeply relate to him as a father and also resonate with Mufasa’s journey in the film.” Barry Jenkins’s directorial venture, which narrates Mufasa’s story from his childhood to his rise as an incredible king, arrives on December 20. Calling his revisiting the character as exceptional, SRK added, “It is a special collaboration for me with Disney, particularly because my sons, Aryan and AbRam, are part of this journey and sharing this experience with them is truly meaningful.”
