‘King of Bollywood’ Shah Rukh Khan along with his son Aryan Khan has dubbed Hindi version of ‘The Lion King’. However, Pakistani actor Shaan Shahid feels that SRK has ruined the true essence of old classic with his traditional Bollywood style voice.
Replying to one of the teasers of The Lion King’s Hindi version, which SRK shared on his Twitter, Shaan wrote, “Please don’t destroy an iconic film with Hindi dub, no difference in Shah Rukh’s voice it is like any other voiceover he does for his films. At least change your voice expression for a lion's dub”.
Pls don’t destroy an iconic film with Hindi dub .. no difference in shahrukhs voice it is like any other V/O he does for his films . At least change your voice expression for a lions dub.

SRK’s son Aryan has lent his voice for the role of Simba in the movie while SRK plays his father Mufasa. The Hindi version of Aryan Khan's promo was released today as Simba has been garnering praise from his fans. Many fans seemed to agree that both father and son sound similar in the promos.
Shah Rukh's teaser as Mufasa was also released last week.
