The Lion King Trailer (Hindi): Shah Rukh Khan’s Presence Is Making Us Further Miss Him On Big Screen!

Bollywood’s King Khan Shah Rukh Khan has shared the first glimpse of his version of King Mufasa in the upcoming Hindi version of The Lion King, and is seen teaching his son Simba, voiced by his own son Aryan, the meaning of being a “true king”.

“Delighted to be a part of this global legacy. In cinemas on July 19,” SRK tweeted on Friday while sharing the link of the trailer.

The trailer of the upcoming live-action movie opens with Shah Rukh looking into the camera at a recording studio, as he emphasises on the importance of staying connected to one’s identity.

“Main hamesha tumhare saath hun, aur hamesha tumhare saath hi rahunga…Bas yaad rakhna ke tum kaun ho… Ek sacha raja (Simba, I am always with you and will always be there for you. Just remember, who you are – a true king,” Shah Rukh says as Mufasa.

The trailer also shows footage of the Pride Lands, Scar and hyenas cornering Simba.

In the trailer, Shah Rukh is also giving advice to Simba about how a “true king” should think about what he can do for his people, and not what his people can do for him.
