Mahesh in Telugu, Shah Rukh in Hindi

The Hindi version trailer of ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ was also released recently. In it, Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan‘s son, Abram, has provided the voice for young Mufasa. Interestingly, in the same film, Shah Rukh Khan voices the older Mufasa, and his eldest son, Aryan Khan, voices Simba. Speaking about the film, Shah Rukh said, “Mufasa has a wonderful legacy. He reigns as the great king of the jungle. This role has resonated with me as a father. This movie shows how Mufasa’s life unfolds from childhood to kingship. Working on this role again after 2019 The Lion King feels special, especially working with my children.” The film Mufasa is set to have a grand release in Telugu, Hindi, English, and Tamil.

Dubbing Isn’t New to Mahesh… But!

This isn’t the first time Mahesh Babu has done dubbing; he has previously lent his voice in the background for two films, Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Jalsa’ and Tarak’s ‘Baadshah.’ However, those were not character-specific but were meant to elevate the role. This is the first time Mahesh is fully dubbing for a character. It will be interesting to see how well Mahesh captivates the audience with his voice.

Busy with ‘SSMB29’

Mahesh is set to star in an adventurous action movie directed by the legendary Rajamouli. He will appear in a new look, sporting long hair and a beard for this role. Information suggests that the official launch of this movie by Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli is imminent. The film will also involve several Hollywood actors and technicians, making it a highly anticipated project.
