Shah Rukh Khan fans are eagerly waiting for the Hindi version of The Lion King. While SRK is the voice of Mufasa in the film, his son Aryan Khan is lending his voice to Simba. Shah Rukh took to Instagram to share a clip wherein we can hear Aryan’s voice for the first time.
Aryan begins by saying, “Main hoon Simba, Mufasa ka beta (I am Simba, Mufasa’s son).” He goes on to say that his dad had made him a protector of the jungle, so he should fight.
Earlier, the first trailer of the dubbed version was dropped. We heard Shah Rukh giving lessons in being a good king to young Simba.
Shah Rukh took to his twitter account to share the trailer and said, “Delighted to be a part of this global legacy. In Cinemas 19th July. Yaad Rakhna. #TheLionKing disneyfilmindia.”
The trailer opens with Shah Rukh behind the microphone voicing the character of Mufasa saying, “Simba, Main hamesha tumhare saath hoon aur hamesha tumhare saath rahunga (Simba I am always with you and will always be with you).” And his voice makes the trailer very effective.
The Lion King releases in India on 19 July.
