Youngest Khan makes his debut with Disney, fans excited to witness the father and sons trio for Mufasa: The Lion King

A recent announcement from Disney Studios India has left fans and audiences in a stir, and for good reason! Shah Rukh Khan’s youngest, AbRam, is all set to make his grand debut on the silver screen, albeit in a rather unique way. The little bundle of joy, who has always been a paparazzi favorite, will be lending his voice to the young Mufasa in the Hindi version of Disney’s upcoming epic, Mufasa: The Lion King.

Joining him in this royal venture are his father, the undisputed King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, who reprises his role as Mufasa, and elder brother Aryan Khan, voicing the adult Simba. The trio’s collaboration promises a cinematic experience unlike any other, but it’s undoubtedly AbRam’s entry into the world of entertainment that has everyone talking. While Shah Rukh is the undisputed King of the industry, Aryan is also all set to make his directorial debut with the highly-anticipated ‘Stardom’, its AbRam’s innocence and charm are expected to add a fresh and heartwarming dimension to the film.

The decision to cast AbRam as the young Mufasa is a stroke of genius. It not only adds a personal touch to the film for the Khan family but also creates an emotional connection with the audience. Talking about working alongside Aryan and AbRam, Shahrukh confessed, “It’s a special collaboration for me with Disney, particularly because my sons, Aryan and AbRam, are part of this journey, and sharing this experience with them is truly meaningful.” Who can resist the cuteness of a child’s voice narrating the formative years of such an iconic character?

As the release date draws closer, anticipation for Mufasa: The Lion King is reaching a fever pitch. Fans are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to hear AbRam’s voice on the big screen and witness the magic of the Khan family’s collaboration. Bringing new and fan-favorite characters to life and blending live-action filmmaking techniques with photoreal computer-generated imagery, “Mufasa: The Lion King” is directed by Barry Jenkins.

Mufasa: The Lion King will be in Indian theatres on December 20, 2024, in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
