"As a father, I can totally relate with Mufasa and the endearing relationship he shares with his son – Simba.
"The legacy of Lion King is timeless; and being a part of this iconic re-imagining with my son Aryan makes it extra special for me. We are most excited that AbRam is going to watch this," Shah Rukh said in a statement.
