Deember 11, 2024: It’s great to see how the Khan family came together for Mufasa: The Lion King! Shah Rukh Khan’s reflections on working with his sons, Aryan and AbRam, give a really personal touch to the process behind the film. It’s clear that this project was a family effort, with AbRam even memorizing 20-25 Hindi lines, which shows a lot of dedication for someone so young.
The way SRK describes their approach—especially Aryan’s patience during the dubbing process—really highlights how much effort they all put in to bring their characters to life. It’s also interesting to hear SRK’s thoughts on how times have changed with language preferences, especially with English being more commonly spoken these days. The fact that Aryan’s first experience dubbing for The Incredibles involved more Hindi speakers shows how the landscape of voice acting in Bollywood has evolved.
Having the entire family involved in such a big project is heartwarming, and it’s sure to resonate with fans who’ve followed their careers. Shah Rukh Khan’s portrayal of Mufasa and Aryan’s voice as Simba will definitely be something to look forward to. The film’s release in multiple languages—Hindi, English, and Tamil—will only expand its reach. Mufasa: The Lion King seems set to be a big hit!
