Shah Rukh Khan Compares His Journey To Stardom With Mufasa’s Journey In ‘The Lion King’

Mumbai: Bollywood King Shah Rukh Khan’s journey to stardom wasn’t a cakewalk. From a common Delhi boy to Bollywood superstar, he worked hard and faced adversities to become a king like Mufasa.

On Wednesday, Walt Disney Studios shared a video on their official YouTube channel in which Shah Rukh spoke about Mufasa and the similarities he shares with the king of the animals.

Shah Rukh Khan, who is lending voice to Mufasa in the Hindi version of ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ said, “Yeh kahaani hai ek aese raja ki jise virasat ki roshni nahi, tanhaiyo ki virasat mili (This story is about a certain king who got darkness instead of a grand legacy).”

“Lekin uski rago mein behta tha uka junoon. Aur usi junoon se usne zameen se uthkar aasmaaan ko chhua. Zameen par toh kayi badshah hukumat karte aaye hai par usne raaj kiya sabhi ke dilon par. Halath ki aandhiyon se utha, ek saccha raja. Kaafi milti julti hai na yeh kahani (smiles)? Par yeh kahani hai Mufasa ki (But he had passion. With that passion, he rose from the ground to touch the sky. Many kings ruled the land, but he ruled the hearts of the people. He rose from his tough situation, a true king. this story sounds similar, right? But it’s a story about Mufasa),” he added.

The video also featured scenes from the upcoming film ‘Mufasa: The Lion King.’

In the movie, Shah Rukh’s elder son, Aryan Khan will be lending his voice for the character Simba and his younger son AbRam Khan will the voice of a young Mufasa.

Other actors, who will lend their voices, include Sanjay Mishra as Pumbaa, Shreyas Talpade as Timon, and Meiyang Chang as Taka.

Directed by Barry Jenkins, Disney’s ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ will be release in India on December 20 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages.
