Reflecting on this collaboration, Shah Rukh Khan expressed how meaningful it is for him to work alongside his sons on this iconic project. He 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."
Bikram Duggal, Head of Studios at Disney Star, also emphasized the significance of this collaboration, noting that Mufasa is more than just a fictional character—he represents a spirit that inspires generations, a quality Disney aims to bring to every story. Duggal remarked, “When Mufasa: The Lion King was announced, we could not envision anyone other than Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan returning to our family entertainer as Mufasa and Simba. Now, with AbRam joining the cast, this movie has become even more special to us. Our endeavour here is for millions of Indian audiences to enjoy this incredible story with their families!"
The film, Mufasa: The Lion King, directed by Barry Jenkins, is set to blend live-action filmmaking with photoreal computer-generated imagery, bringing both new and beloved characters to life. This unique approach, combined with the Khan family’s involvement, is poised to make Mufasa a memorable cinematic experience for audiences, particularly in India. The excitement surrounding this project is palpable, as fans eagerly await the release of the film and the chance to witness this remarkable collaboration unfold on screen. Film is slated for December 20 release date.
