The Hindi version of the film has superstar Shah Rukh Khan voicing Mufasa while his son, Aryan Khan has lent his voice to Simba.

It was interesting to see the real life father-son duo voice Simba and Mufasa. Only a couple of days back, the teaser featuring Aryan as Simba was unveiled and fans were left bewildered by the resemblance of the star kids voice to his father.

So, do you plan to watch 'The Lion King' this weekend?
