Shah Rukh Khan is currently gearing up for the release of his movie Mufasa: The Lion King, in which he has voiced the titular character for the Hindi version. The Bollywood superstar recently narrated Mufasa's journey and connected it to his own. He said that their stories sounded quite similar.

Today, November 27, 2024, the makers of the upcoming film Mufasa: The Lion King released a promotional video. Shah Rukh Khan was seen narrating the story of Mufasa. In the video, he said that Mufasa was the kind of king who inherited loneliness. 

Talking about Mufasa's passion, SRK continued, "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)."

Shah Rukh stated, "Zameen par toh kayi Baadshah hukumat karte aaye hain par usne raaj kiya sabhi ke dilon par (Many kings have ruled the earth, but he ruled everyone's hearts)." The actor added that the lion braved storms and emerged as a true king.

Drawing parallels to his own journey, SRK said with a smile, "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)."
