Bollywood heartthrob Shah Rukh Khan, along with his sons Aryan Khan and AbRam Khan, is set to voice key characters in the Hindi version of Disney's highly anticipated family entertainer, 'Mufasa: The Lion King'.

AbRam Khan's big screen debut

After Aryan and Suhana, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri's youngest child AbRam Khan is set to take his father's legacy forward. The 11-year-old is set to make his film debut with the Hindi dub version of Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of 'Mufasa: The Lion King'. In the Hindi dub of the film, Shah Rukh Khan voices the iconic Mufasa while Aryan lends his voice to the role of Simba. Aryan Khan will take on the role of young 'Simba'.

Shah Rukh Khan on working with his sons

Talking about the association, Shah Rukh Khan shared, “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. ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’, depicts Mufasa’s life from childhood to his rise as an incredible king, and revisiting this character has been exceptional. It’s 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."

Directed by Barry Jenkins, 'Mufasa: The Lion King' is scheduled for release in India on December 20, 2024, in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
