Shah Rukh Khan has voiced the iconic Mufasa for the Hindi version of Mufasa: The Lion King. In a new promo, the Bollywood superstar shares his personal connection to the character.
Shah Rukh Khan Relates To Mufasa’s Journey In Latest Promo
The 1-minute, 8-second video shows Khan reflecting on Mufasa’s journey from struggle to success. He draws a parallel between the lion’s rise to power and his own career.
You can hear him saying, “Yeh Kahaani hai ek aise Raja ki jise riyasat ki roshni nahi tanhaiyon ki hirasat mili. Lekin uski ragon mein behta tha uska junoon. Aur usi junoon se usne zameen se uthkar, aasman ko chhod. Jameen pe toh kai hukummat karte aaye hain. Usne raaj kiya sabke dilon par. Ek Sachcha Raja. Kafi milti julti hai na yeh kahaani. Par yeh kahaani hai mufasa ki.”
His words describe a king who rose from hardship to become a true leader, much like how Shah Rukh overcame challenges to become a Bollywood legend. Both stories highlight perseverance, passion and their journeys to greatness.
The promo doesn’t just focus on Mufasa’s strength, but also on universal themes of struggle and resilience.
