It was a few days ago when Disney Studios announced that Shah Rukh Khan and his son Aryan Khan will be dubbing for the Hindi version of The Lion King. And now, the trailer of the Hindi version has been released.
Shah Rukh Khan took to Twitter to share the trailer with his fans. He tweeted, “Delighted to be a part of this global legacy. In Cinemas 19th July. Yaad Rakhna. #TheLionKing @disneyfilmindia.”

The trailer is very impressive, but it is Shah Rukh Khan’s voice that takes it a notch higher. The superstar’s voice as Mufasa is very impactful. However, we don’t get to hear Aryan’s voice in the trailer.
While talking about The Lion King, SRK in a statement had 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, this is not the first time when SRK and Aryan will dub for a Hollywood film. Earlier, the two had dubbed for The Incredibles.
Shah Rukh Khan won’t be having a release this year as an actor because he has not signed any film yet. The actor’s last release was Zero which failed to make a mark at the box office. Recently, while talking about his decision of not doing any film right now, SRK 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.”
Well, though we won’t get to see SRK this year on the big screen, we will get to hear his voice in The Lion King which is slated to release on 19th July 2019.
