Shahrukh & Lion King
Shah Rukh Khan says he fell in love with THE LION KING for the way the movie narrates a story based on a relationship between a father and a son.
Bollywood’s King Khan and his son Aryan Khan have lent their voices for King Mufasa and his son Simba, respectively, in the Hindi version of Disney’s upcoming live-action film The Lion King. “The Lion King has been, for not just me, but for so many people around the world, one of the favourite films that they have enjoyed with their families and kids,” Shah Rukh said.
The Lion King follows the adventures of Simba, who is to succeed his father Mufasa, as King of the Pride Lands, and narrates a tale of how he rises up to the occasion despite several attempts to bring him down by his villainous uncle Scar.
