Shah Rukh Khan discusses the connection with the character and said, "Mufasa has an amazing legacy and stands as the ultimate king of the jungle, passing on his wisdom to his son, Simba." As a father, I identify strongly with him, and I also find Mufasa's journey in the movie to be relatable. Mufasa's life is shown in "Mufasa: The Lion King," from his early years to his ascent to become an amazing king. It has been an amazing experience to revisit this character. My sons, Aryan and Abram, are travelling with me, so working with Disney is especially meaningful to me. Sharing this experience with them is priceless."
