Pakistani Actor Shaan Shahid Asks Shah Rukh Khan Not To Ruin The Lion King With Hindi Dub, Angers Fans

Pakistani actor Shaan Shahid has come under fire from fans after he expressed his resentment at Shah Rukh Khan's Hindi dubbing of the iconic movie "The Lion King". The comment came from the actor after SRK shared the promo of Aaryan Khan’s Simba.

Commenting on the film's promotional video released earlier this month, Shaan had tweeted: "Please don't destroy such a beautiful movie with Hindi dub... In this promo, Shah Rukh's voice is the same like it is in any other film. At least he should've changed his voice and expression for 'The Lion King'."

However, in the promo, the voice is not of Shah Rukh, who is lending voice to the character of Mufasa. Rather, it is of his son Aryan Khan, who is lending his voice to the character, Simba.

This made fans criticise Shaan on social media. 

A user tweeted: "Shaan, you're trying to be over smart. Nobody is forcing you to watch the Hindi version of the film. You watch it in English only."

Meanwhile, Bollywood was totally stunned at Aaryan Khan’s voice over in Hindi for Simba. Celebs and Bollywood stars like were surprised at how similar he sounded to Shah Rukh in the promo.

The Lion King releases in theatres on 19 July.
