Shah Rukh Khan is returning to The Lion King with his sons Aryan Khan and AbRam Khan. The superstar shared that his youngest son, AbRam, put in a lot of effort to memorize his lines and he was proud of his dedication.
SRK spoke about working with his sons in a new video released by the studio on Tuesday. The video, shared on Instagram, shows Shah Rukh reflecting on his experience of working with Aryan in The Incredibles.
Shah Rukh shared that when he and Aryan did the dubbing for The Incredibles, it was more challenging compared to today. He mentioned that what stood out about both his sons was their patience, something he hadn’t expected them to have at such a young age.The actor mentioned that both of his sons prepared extensively for the project, taking time to learn their Hindi lines. He also noted that when Aryan did the dubbing for The Incredibles, there were more people speaking in Hindi, which made it slightly easier to learn and perform the lines.
Shah Rukh expressed his concern about whether AbRam would be able to adapt to the changes over the years, as people now tend to speak more in English. He shared that he was happy to see AbRam put in the effort, learning his 20-25 Hindi lines with his sister Suhana, making it a family effort.
SRK observed that both Aryan and AbRam have delicate voices. He mentioned that Aryan’s voice has changed over time, and he hopes that AbRam’s voice will also evolve in a similar way over the next 8 to 10 years. He added that having their voices preserved in a film is a cherished memory and a special keepsake for him.
