Talking about the collaboration, Shah Rukh Khan said, “Mufasa has an incredible legacy and is the ultimate king of the jungle who passes on his wisdom to his son Simba. I have a deep connection with him as a father and I can also identify with Mufasa’s journey in the film. ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ shows Mufasa’s life from childhood to his rise to become an incredible king and to bring this character back to life was extraordinary. For me, collaborating with Disney is special especially because my sons Aryan and AbRam are part of this journey and it is really meaningful to share this experience with them.”

When Mufasa: The Lion King was announced, we couldn’t imagine anyone else but Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan returning to our family entertainment program as Mufasa and Simba.
