Speaking of Shah Rukh Khan and his professional commitments, the actor was last seen in Aanand L Rai's Zero, opposite Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. After facing the criticism from critics and audience alike, Shah Rukh Khan said in a media interaction: "What drives me to do a film is the people around me who make such a great cinema... And I think I have a huge amount of capacity to do some really good cinema. I have 20-25 years of good cinema left in me."

He further added: "I just finished the last film I made and to put it lightly, it was a disaster. I said to myself that let me enjoy a little bit of un-success as I had success for so long. So I have taken some time off for the next four or five months."

The film follows the adventures of Simba, who is to succeed his father Mufasa as King of the Pride Lands and narrates the tale of how he rises up to the occasion.
