The Big Picture After over three decades of reigning supreme over Indian cinema, Shah Rukh Khan has rightfully earned the title of King Khan with a prolific filmography behind him to reinforce it. However, SRK clearly now has his sights set on becoming King of the Jungle as he lends his legendary vocal to the beloved character of Mufasa for the Hindi-dubbed release of Disney's latest live-action remake Mufasa: The Lion King.
In the new dubbed trailer for the film, Khan takes the lead as the titular hero, offering his raspy vocal as he roars his way across the Pride Lands and grapples with his younger brother Scar - who later becomes his greatest enemy. Khan's vocals are particularly distinctive during the most emotive speeches leaning into the same evident sincerity that audiences have adored for decades.
Shah Rukh Khan Had a Record-Breaking Year in 2023 with Three Massive Theatrical Releases Khan's Bollywood legacy is largely rooted in romance, however, after a lifetime of wooing his audiences, the actor made the decision to step away from this type of role partly due to feeling too old for it and partly out of a desire to explore other avenues.
Mufasa: The Lion King lands in theaters on December 20. Khan's dubbed version will arrive in theaters in India on the same date. You can see a trailer for Khan's version above.
