Lion King’s Hindi trailer to be attached to Bharat in theatres

By Bandook - June 3, 2019

Come July 19, 2019, Jon Favreau’s live-action adaptation of Disney’s most enduring classic animation films will make its foray into Indian theatres in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. But before that, fans will see the film’s Hindi trailer in theatres attached to Bharat, which releases on Eid this week.

Staying true to the classic story, director Jon Favreau utilizes pioneering filmmaking techniques to bring the iconic characters to the big screen in a whole new way.

The live-action adventure features the voices of Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon.

The Disney flick journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolises his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival.

Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile.

With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.
