Widely known as ‘Badshah or King Khan, the actor narrated Mufasa’s journey in a promo video for the upcoming movie.
In the video, Shah Rukh Khan drew parallels between his life and Mufasa, the titular character in the upcoming film
The Bollywood actor said that Mufasa was the kind of king who inherited loneliness.
“Lekin uski ragon mein behta tha uska junoon. Aur ussi junoon se usne zameen se uth kar aasmaan ko chua (But his passion flowed in his veins. And with the same passion, he rose from the ground and touched the sky). Many kings have ruled the earth, but he ruled everyone’s hearts,” Shah Rukh Khan said in the promo for ‘Mufasa: The Lion King.’
The Bollywood actor then drew parallels to his own journey, saying, “Kaafi milti julti hai na yeh kahaani, par yeh kahaani hai Mufasa ki (This story sounds very similar, but this is the story of Mufasa).”
