The Lion King movie makers have definitely vowed to present the best of all the industries. The remake of this 1994 classic is all set to release in the next couple of weeks and we are able to hear the names of Indian celebs who will dub for its various regional versions. After Shah Rukh Khan and son Aryan were roped in to do a voiceover for Mufasa and Simba's character in its Hindi version, we hear Jersey actor, Nani is selected for its Telugu version. And like Aryan, he'll lend his voice for Simba's character. Prince Harry Will Attend The Lion King London Premiere To Support 'Protect the Pride' Campaign.
Nani took to his Twitter account to make this big announcement and we bet his fans are currently jumping with joy. Being a true blue SRK fan, we are determined to watch its Hindi version and the condition is no different for the movie's Telugu audiences. Jon Favreau's directorial will be released in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages and if Nani is selected for Simba, we wonder who'll be chosen for Mufasa and Scar's characters.

Coming to Tamil industry, Rang De Basanti actor, Siddharth will dub for Simba's character while Arvind Swami will do the same honours for Scar. Interestingly, in its original version of 1994, Arvind Swami was selected to lend his voice for Simba's character. He's fortunate enough to be a part of both the movies and we are so looking forward to this remake's release. The Lion King is all set to hit the screens on July 19, 2019.
