Watch: Shah Rukh Khan gives a glimpse of Mufasa in the Hindi trailer of 'The Lion King'

<p>For a man like Shah Rukh Khan, who has ruled Bollywood for over three decades, &nbsp;not being busy shooting for a film must be an unusual thing. Post the debacle of 'Zero' &nbsp;his last release that came out in December 2018, Khan has not announced any new project.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
There have been speculations that SRK would do Rakesh Sharma's biopic but it eventually went to Vicky Kaushal. There were also reports that suggested that SRK had signed a film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali but those too turned out to be rumours.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Now, the actor has himself clarified that he has not signed any new project and taking a break to enjoy some quality time with his family. "I have no film with me right now. I am not working on any film. Usually what happens is when your one film is coming to an end, you begin work on your next film and I get involved within 3-4 months. But this time I am just not feeling like…My heart doesn’t allow me to..I just felt that I should rather take time out, watch films, listen to stories and read more books," SRK said to a film magazine recently.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Even my kids are in their college stage…my daughter is going to college and my son is about to finish his studies. So I just want to spend more time with my family,” the actor further added.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Shah Rukh may not be facing the camera, but the actor is still busy with his production work. He last produced film 'Badla', which released earlier in 2019, was declared a hit. He is also producing Netflix series Bard Of Blood which stars Emraan Hashmi and Shobhita Dhulipala in lead roles. Recently, he announced that he would be dubbing for <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/srk-aryan-to-voice-mufasa-simba-in-the-lion-king-hindi-version-227880">Mufasa while his son Aryan Khan</a> will be voicing Simba in the Hindi version of Disney’s 'The Lion King.'&nbsp;</p>
