- Shah Rukh reflected on Mufasa’s inspiring journey.
- He compared it to his rise as one of India’s most beloved superstars.
In a video posted by Walt Disney Studios India on Wednesday, Shah Rukh reflected on Mufasa’s inspiring journey of hardship, perseverance, and ultimate triumph, likening it to his rise as one of India’s most beloved superstars.
The video begins with Shah Rukh narrating, “Yeh kahaani hai ek aese raja ki jise virasat ki roshni nahi, tanhaiyo ki virasat mili” (This story is about a certain king who got darkness instead of a grand legacy).
He continues, “Lekin uski rago mein behta tha uka junoon. Aur usi junoon se usne zameen se uthkar aasmaan ko chhua. Zameen par toh kayi badshah hukumat karte aaye hai par usne raaj kiya sabhi ke dilon par. Halath ki aandhiyon se utha, ek saccha raja. Kaafi milti julti hai na yeh kahani (smiles)? Par yeh kahani hai Mufasa ki” (But he had passion. With that passion, he rose from the ground to touch the sky. Many kings ruled the land, but he ruled the hearts of the people. This story sounds similar, right? But it’s about Mufasa).
The Hindi version also stars Shah Rukh’s elder son Aryan Khan as Simba and younger son AbRam Khan as young Mufasa. The film, directed by Barry Jenkins, releases in India on December 20, 2024, in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
