Shah Rukh Khan, who has dubbed Mufasa in the Hindi version of Mufasa: The Lion King, drew similarities between him and the Disney film. The superstar said his life story is similar to that of Mufasa, who came to the jungle as an outsider and became the king of the jungle.

Shahrukh Khan in the new promo of Mufasa: The Lion Kingtalked about losing his parents at a very young age. He said, “If I wasn’t polite and said, ‘my story is also like this‘ (My story is also similar) so it can fit in it. Technically speaking, someone who does not have parents is an orphan. I lost my parents almost young, so I’m semi-orphaned. This is an outsider’s story. None of my family has been in the film production business. I came to Mumbai from Delhi, so I am also an outsider. This is the story of the king. So, yes, I am a king (laughs).

When you see his story of how he became Mufasa, the king. It is a very interesting story about sacrifice, friendship, loyalty. There were several parts when I was dubbing the film when I realized what a great character he (Mufasa) is.”

Here’s the promo:

Recently Shahrukh spoke at the Global Freight Summit held in Dubai. He talked about losing his parents when he was very young“My parents died when I was young. My father, when I was 14. My mother, when I was 24. So, I lost them in a span of 10 years. Going to me There was no room for. There was a sister with me. Just both of us went into this world.

Despite his death, the young actor said that he feels his presence around him. “One morning I felt that maybe my parents were there somewhere and I would definitely meet them again. They are stars in the sky and I will meet them once.”
