The 2019 live-action remake of The Lion King was a massive success, and Shah Rukh Khan's return as Mufasa in this prequel, Mufasa: The Lion King, has fans eagerly awaiting its release.

On August 12, the Hindi trailer for Mufasa: The Lion King was unveiled on Instagram, offering a glimpse into the epic narrative. The story is narrated by Rafiki and follows the young, orphaned cub Mufasa as he embarks on a journey to rise to power in the Pride Lands. Alongside him is Taka, a lion from a royal lineage, and a group of diverse companions who aid Mufasa in his quest. The trailer beautifully captures the essence of true friendship and the trials and triumphs of Mufasa’s early life.

Shah Rukh Khan shared his deep connection with the character of Mufasa, noting that the role resonates with him personally, especially as a father. He expressed his joy in collaborating with Disney on this project, stating that it is particularly meaningful because it includes his sons, making the experience even more special.

Directed by Barry Jenkins, Mufasa: The Lion King blends live-action techniques with photoreal computer-generated imagery, bringing new and beloved characters to life in a way that is both familiar and fresh. The film features original songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the English version includes voice performances by Aaron Pierre as Mufasa, Donald Glover as Simba, and Braelyn Rankins as young Mufasa.
