Shah Rukh reflected on Mufasa’s inspiring journey.
He compared it to his rise as one of India’s most beloved superstars.

Actor Shah Rukh Khan, set to voice Mufasa in the Hindi version of Mufasa: The Lion King, shared how the character’s story resonates with his own life experiences.

In a video posted by Walt Disney Studios India on Wednesday, Shah Rukh reflected on Mufasa’s inspiring journey of hardship, perseverance, and ultimate triumph, likening it to his rise as one of India’s most beloved superstars.

The video begins with Shah Rukh narrating, “Yeh kahaani hai ek aese raja ki jise virasat ki roshni nahi, tanhaiyo ki virasat mili” (This story is about a certain king who got darkness instead of a grand legacy).

He continues, “Lekin uski rago mein behta tha uka junoon. Aur usi junoon se usne zameen se uthkar aasmaan ko chhua. Zameen par toh kayi badshah hukumat karte aaye hai par usne raaj kiya sabhi ke dilon par. Halath ki aandhiyon se utha, ek saccha raja. Kaafi milti julti hai na yeh kahani (smiles)? Par yeh kahani hai Mufasa ki” (But he had passion. With that passion, he rose from the ground to touch the sky. Many kings ruled the land, but he ruled the hearts of the people. This story sounds similar, right? But it’s about Mufasa).

The Hindi version also stars Shah Rukh’s elder son Aryan Khan as Simba and younger son AbRam Khan as young Mufasa. The film, directed by Barry Jenkins, releases in India on December 20, 2024, in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Tim Burton Reacts To Disney Characters Reimagined by AI In His Style

September 10, 2023 by Areej Afzal

Famous director Tim Burton recently expressed his views on the increasing popularity of Artificial Intelligence and its potential threat to the field of animation.

In a recent interview with The Independent, Burton was asked about a Buzzfeed article from July that utilized AI to reimagine Disney characters under his direction. He reacted enthusiastically, saying, “They had AI do my versions of Disney characters! I can’t describe the feeling it gives you. It reminded me of when other cultures say, ‘Don’t take my picture because it is taking away your soul.’”

The Buzzfeed piece featured beloved Disney characters from films like Frozen, The Lion King, Cinderella, Moana, Beauty and the Beast, and Hercules, among others, with a distinct resemblance to the animation style of Burton’s well-known 2005 movie, Corpse Bride.

While Burton acknowledged that some of the AI-generated versions were “very good,” he admitted that he didn’t particularly enjoy seeing his unique artistic style replicated in this manner.

He explained, “What it does is it sucks something from you. It takes something from your soul or psyche; that is very disturbing, especially if it has to do with you. It’s like a robot taking your humanity, your soul.”

Burton referred to his artistic work, including his drawings and writings across various mediums, as “a therapeutic thing” and a means of making sense of the world.

The utilization of AI in the Hollywood industry has sparked debates, with writers and actors seeking negotiations with major corporations to ensure their job security. AI has become a central point of contention in these discussions.
