The excitement is palpable for Disney’s upcoming release, Mufasa: The Lion King, as its Hindi trailer has just dropped. Starring Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan as the iconic lion Mufasa, the trailer offers a glimpse of the highly anticipated film set to hit theaters this December. With Shah Rukh Khan reuniting with his son, Aryan, and new addition, AbRam, for this special project, fans are eagerly anticipating its release.

Following the success of Disney’s 2019 live-action The Lion King, Mufasa: The Lion King is both a prequel and a sequel to the previous film. Directed by Barry Jenkins, the story expands the beloved universe by focusing on Mufasa’s early years. The trailer reveals the journey of a young orphaned lion named Mufasa and his brother, Taka, who later becomes the infamous Scar. Their adventures, along with a diverse cast of characters, form the heart of the new film.

In the Hindi version of the film, Shah Rukh Khan reprises his role as Mufasa, a role he first voiced in the 2019 remake. His sons also have major roles, with Aryan Khan voicing the older Simba, while AbRam voices the young Mufasa.

Expressing his excitement about the project, the superstar said, "Mufasa has an incredible legacy and is known as the ultimate king of the jungle, who passes on his wisdom to his son, Simba. I feel deeply connected to him as a father and also resonate with Mufasa's journey in the film." He added, "It's a special collaboration for me with Disney, especially because my sons, Aryan and AbRam, are part of this journey, and sharing this experience with them is truly meaningful."
