According to the latest announcement, AbRam will be voicing the young Mufasa and joining Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan in their franchise. This is indeed a great twist, as he is technically playing the young version of his father. The movie is all set to take us back in time, giving the makers room to have AbRam enter the franchise as a pivotal character to voice.
Talking about the association, Shah Rukh Khan shares, "Mufasa has an incredible legacy and stands as the ultimate king of the jungle, imparting his wisdom to his son, Simba. I deeply relate to him as a father and also resonate with Mufasa's journey in the film. Mufasa: The Lion King depicts Mufasa's life from childhood to his rise as an incredible king, and revisiting this character has been exceptional. It's a special collaboration for me with Disney, particularly because my sons, Aryan and AbRam, are part of this journey, and sharing this experience with them is truly meaningful."
The official synopsis for The Lion King, directed by Barry Jenkins, reads, "Mufasa: The Lion King enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of the unlikely rise of the beloved king of the Pride Lands, introducing an orphaned cub called Mufasa, a sympathetic lion named Taka - the heir to a royal bloodline - and their expansive journey alongside an extraordinary group of misfits."
Barry Jenkins' Mufasa: The Lion King releases in India on December 20, 2024, in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
