Marathi actor Yogita Chavan has weighed in on the poster credits for the upcoming animated feature Mufasa: The Lion King. Shah Rukh Khan lends his voice to the iconic character of Mufasa, while his son Aryan Khan voices Simba. Even the youngest member of the Khan family, AbRam, joins in as the voice of young Mufasa. Other voices include Makarand Deshpande as Rafiki, Sanjay Mishra as Pumbaa, Shreyas Talpade as Timon, and Meiyang Chang as Taka.
Yogita Chavan took to Instagram and expressed her disappointment with Mufasa: The Lion King poster which credits Shah Rukh Khan and his sons Aryan and AbRam above other seasoned actors from the industry. She wrote, "Shah Rukh Khan I can understandâ¦.but why are Aryan Khan and AbRam Khan's names in bold??? How wrong is it to write the names of other veterans Makarand Deshpande, Sanjay Mishra, and Shreyas Talpade as secondary? Of course, they all have contributed more to the film industry than Aryan Khan and Abram Khan."
