After Aladdin, now Disney is preparing to release yet
another live-action movie in the form of The Lion King. The film is the remake
of the classic animated film and it hits the cinemas in a few weeks. The Jungle
Book director and Iron Man star Jon Favreau is at the helm of The Lion King. Disney
lately pronounced that the iconic film is going to be released in Hindi as
well.
The production house recently pronounced that Shah Rukh Khan
and his son Aryan Khan have been roped in to voice over for Mufasa and Simba in
the Hindi version of The Lion King. Both dropped a subtle hint on Father's Day
when they wore the Indian jersey with the two Disney characters' names on their
back. Later, the production house confirmed that the father-son duo will go
behind the mic for the film.
While this is great news, let us tell you that this isn't
the first time the duo will go behind the mic. SRK and Aryan debuted behind the
mic back in 2004 for The Incredibles. Shah Rukh voiced for Mr Incredible
whereas Aryan voiced for Dash. That's not all. Aryan and Shah Rukh were a part
of the same film back in 2003. Aryan played a young Rahul (played by Shah Rukh)
in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghum directed by Karan Johar.
As for The Lion King, Shah Rukh issued a declaration,
"The Lion King is that one movie that my entire family loves the most and
it holds a very special place in our hearts. As a father, I can totally relate
with Mufasa and the endearing relationship he shares with his son - Simba. The
legacy of Lion King is timeless; and being a part of this iconic re-imagining
with my son Aryan makes it extra special for me. We are most excited that AbRam
is going to watch this."
