Shah Rukh Khan and his son Aryan Khan have dubbed for the Hindi version of The Lion King. While SRK has dubbed for the voice of Mufasa, Aryan has dubbed for the character of Simba. The movie has received mixed reviews but is doing quite well at the box office.
Shah Rukh Khan took to Twitter to express that he is very happy that people are enjoying the film. He also thanked the other actors who have dubbed for the movie. SRK tweeted, “So happy to hear that so many r enjoying Lion King. A special thanx to my coactors & friends for bringing this film to life in Hindi. @imsanjaimishra @shreyastalpade1 & the amazing @AshishVid & #asrani sahib. Thx for making me & Aryan sound good!”

While talking about the film, SRK had earlier said, "The Lion King is that one movie that my entire family loves the most and it holds a very special place in our hearts. As a father, I can totally relate with Mufasa and the endearing relationship he shares with his son - Simba. The legacy of Lion King is timeless, and being a part of this iconic re-imagining with my son Aryan makes it extra special for me. We are most excited that AbRam is going to watch this.”
Well, SRK’s fans are quite happy to hear his voice in the film. But we are sure they are keen to know which will be his next film as an actor. SRK was last seen on the big screen in 2018 release Zero which failed to make a mark at the box office. A few weeks ago, while talking about why he is not signing any films, the actor had said, "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. 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.”
Reportedly, SRK will next be seen in Rajkumar Hirani’s next. However, there’s no official announcement about the film.
GOOGLE will invest $15 billion over the next five years to set up an artificial intelligence data centre in Andhra Pradesh, marking its biggest investment in India.
The US technology company announced the plan at an event in New Delhi attended by India’s infotech and finance ministers. Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said the new facility in Andhra Pradesh would be the company’s “largest AI hub” outside the United States.
“This long-term vision we have is to accelerate India's own AI mission,” Kurian said.
The data centre campus, located in the port city of Visakhapatnam, will have an initial capacity of 1 Gigawatt. Google’s investment is part of its global plan to spend about $85 billion this year on data centre expansion as technology firms race to meet rising demand for AI services.
US-India tension
The announcement comes at a time of tension between New Delhi and Washington over tariffs and a stalled trade deal, as prime minister Narendra Modi has urged a boycott of foreign goods.
US-based companies are facing boycott calls in India, with business executives and Modi supporters protesting against a 50 per cent tariff on imported Indian goods.
“This initiative creates substantial economic and societal opportunities for both India and the United States,” Google said in a statement, without mentioning the tariffs.
According to two sources cited by Reuters, Indian officials have recently met US company executives privately to assure them of a supportive business environment despite concerns over tariffs.
A billion internet users
Microsoft and Amazon have already invested billions in Indian data centres, tapping into a market of nearly one billion internet users.
Indian industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani have also announced data centre investments. Adani Group and Airtel have partnered with Google to develop infrastructure for the new project, which includes construction of an international subsea gateway.
AI development requires large computing power, increasing demand for specialised data centres that link thousands of chips in clusters.
Earlier, state officials had estimated the Google project’s cost at $10 billion and said it would create about 188,000 jobs.
Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc, considers India a key growth market. YouTube has its largest user base in India, and Android dominates smartphone usage. The company, however, faces antitrust investigations in the country and a lawsuit from a Bollywood couple challenging YouTube’s AI policy.
