Disney's film 'Mufasa: The Lion King' has become the latest example of how important Hindi Hindi-speaking audience is becoming for Hollywood cinema. The film has done a business of more than Rs 100 crore in India, and a large part of it is from the Hindi version. It is believed that this love for the film in Hindi is due to the dubbing of its main character Mufasa by Shah Rukh Khan. With the pace at which 'Mufasa' is earning at the domestic box office, there are chances of it becoming the biggest-earning Hollywood film of the year.
