In Mufasa – The Lion KingThe biggest Hindi cast yet – including the iconic Shah Rukh Khan, his sons Aryan and AbRam and others – brings the story of the last monarch of the jungle to life. The 2019 live-action adaptation of The Lion King was a huge hit and now SRK is back as Mufasa, taking viewers to the beginning of the story of the greatest king of the jungle. His offspring Simba (Aryan) and young Mufasa (AbRam) accompany him. The Hindi trailer for the stunning live-action adaptation Mufasa: The Lion bears the burden of King Khan and his clan of Indian cinema.
Shah Rukh Khan’s emotional connection with Mufasa
Speaking about the connection, SRK said in a statement that Mufasa has an incredible legacy and is considered the ultimate king of the jungle who passes on his wisdom to his son Simba. He not only identifies with Mufasa’s journey in the film but also has an emotional connection with him as a father. Seeing this character again in Mufasa – The Lion King— which follows Mufasa from his youth to his amazing rise to kingship — was a real pleasure. Working with Disney on this project is particularly meaningful for the superstar because he gets to share the experience with his sons Aryan and AbRam.
Mufasa, the fearsome Lion King, is more than just a character in a Disney story; he embodies an ideal that has inspired and moved people for decades. Bikram Duggal of Disney Star Studios could not have imagined anyone returning to the popular family entertainer as Mufasa and Simba, respectively, except SRK and Aryan, as Mufasa – The Lion King was announced. AbRam’s addition to the ensemble cast has made this film even more memorable for them. They want millions of Indian viewers to enjoy this amazing story with their families.
