Disney is gearing up for the release of legendary franchise and crown jewel – The Lion King after conquering hearts with The Jungle Book in 2016. This time, they are to show the father-son duo of Mufasa and Simba getting us emotional. We will also see the perfect comic timing of Timon and Pumbaa, witty bird Zazu and the evil villain Scar, rounding up.
Glad to be a part of this journey… a timeless film. Voicing it in Hindi with my own Simba. The last time we did a film was around 15 years ago and it was ‘Incredible’ and this time around its even more fun. Hope everyone enjoys it 19th July onwards. #TheLionKing https://t.co/rJEfxevA9k
