Disney chose well. No one else but Shah Rukh Khan could have played the 'King Of The Jungle' Mufasa in the upcoming film 'The Lion King'.
The superstar shared the first a glimpse into Mufasa's world as he tweeted the Hindi trailer of 'The Lion King' on Friday.
Khan has done the voice over for Mufasa's character in the Hindi version of the film while his son Aryan Khan has given voiceover for Simba's character. The voice cast also features Ashish Vidyarthi as Scar, Shreyas Talpade as Timon, with Sanjay Mishra and Asrani roped in to lend their trademark wit and humor as Pumbaa and Zazu respectively.
"Delighted to be a part of this global legacy. In Cinemas 19th July. Yaad Rakhna. #TheLionKing @disneyfilmindia," Khan tweeted.
