The Lion King Director: Jon Favreau Starring: Voices of Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, James Earl Jones, Beyonce Knowles-Carter Voices of SRK, Aryan Khan, Ashish Vidyarthi, Sanjay Mishra, Aasrani, Shreyas Talpade, Shernaz Patel, Achint Kaur Run time: 118 minutes Storyline: The crown prince Simba’s jealous uncle Scar kills his father, King Musafa. The crown prince Simba’s jealous uncle Scar kills his father, King Musafa. Simba’s hero-worship of his dad Mufasa and their mutual love gives the film its emotional tug but the idea of the ruler and his successor also makes it a little antediluvian. However, having said that, it’s also a trifle ironic that in India the most looked forward to thing about the film’s Hindi version has been the fact it’s Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan who has voiced Simba.
