The highly anticipated film ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ is set to hit Indian theaters on December 20, 2024, in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Directed by Barry Jenkins, this film delves into the origins of the iconic lion king Mufasa, exploring his journey from an orphaned cub to the ruler of the Pride Lands. For the Telugu version, the legendary Superstar Mahesh Babu will lend his voice to the character of Mufasa, adding a significant touch of gravitas to the role.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the project, Mahesh Babu shared, “I have always admired Disney’s blockbuster legacy of entertainment and timeless storytelling. The character of Mufasa appeals to me not only as a loving father guiding his son but as the supreme king of the jungle taking care of his clan. My family means everything to me, and this collaboration with Disney is personally very special as it is an experience I will cherish with my children! I am looking forward to when my family as well as my fans will be watching Mufasa: The Lion King in Telugu on the big screen on December 20!”
This announcement has me incredibly excited, and I can’t wait for the release! The blend of Disney’s enchanting storytelling with Mahesh Babu’s powerful voice is sure to make ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ a memorable experience.
