Shah Rukh Khan said that “no family of mine has been in the business of filmmaking”. He also talked about Mufasa: The Lion King. Actor Shah Rukh Khan has called himself a ‘semi-orphan’, adding that he is an ‘outsider’ in the Hindi film industry. In a video posted by Walt Disney Studios India on Instagram on Friday, Shah Rukh also talked about Mufasa: The Lion King, in which he lent his voice to Mufasa.
In the clip, Shah Rukh said, “If I was to not be humble and say, ‘Hann meri hi kahaani aisi hai’ (My story is also like this)’ then it could fit in. Technically speaking, anyone who doesn’t have parents is an orphan. I did lose my parents nearly in youth, so I’m a semi-orphan.”
He continued, “It’s the story of an outsider. No family of mine has been in the business of filmmaking. I came from Delhi to Mumbai, so main outsider bhi hoon (I’m an outsider as well). It’s the story of the King. So, yeah, I’m a king.” Shah Rukh also spoke about Mufasa. He said, “I think it’s a very interesting story about sacrifice, friendship, and loyalty. There have been lots of emotions while I was dubbing the film. I thought, ‘What a nice person, what a great character. Kitna accha human being sher hai (what a nice human being lion)’.”

Earlier in a statement shared by Disney, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about the personal connection he feels to his character, Mufasa.Mufasa has an incredible legacy and stands as the ultimate king of the jungle, imparting his wisdom to his son, Simba.
