Mufasa: The Lion King's Hindi version: Shah Rukh Khan pays tribute to Main Hoon Na; AbRam Khan makes a confident voiceover debut

The much-awaited film Mufasa: The Lion King is all set to release tomorrow, December 20, and the excitement is there as The Lion King (2019), was a smash hit in India. The previous instalment worked well not just because of its visual grandeur and subject but also because the Hindi version was voiced by Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan for the lead characters. For Mufasa: The Lion King, Disney has gone one step ahead and got SRK’s youngest son, AbRam Khan, as a voiceover actor. It turns out that AbRam Khan has managed to do an impressive job as the young Mufasa. To see the young son voicing a character whose adult version is voiced by AbRam’s father Shah Rukh added to the entertainment value and also authenticity. Meanwhile, it has come to light that Shah Rukh Khan has referenced his 2004 memorable film, Main Hoon Na, for a crucial scene in the film. Interestingly, in the English version, the dialogue is slightly different but writer Mayur Puri has smartly t...
