Today, December 6, 2024, the makers of *Mufasa: The Lion King* shared a new video across their social media platforms. In the clip, Shah Rukh Khan revealed that Mufasa’s story mirrors his own. He said, “If I were to not be humble and say, ‘Haan. meri bhi kahaani aisi hai’ (My story is also like this), then it could fit in.”
Shah Rukh shared three parallels between him and Mufasa. Firstly, the actor stated, “Because technically speaking, anyone who doesn't have parents is an orphan. I did lose my parents nearly in youth, so I'm a semi-orphan.”
He continued, “It's a story of an outsider.” King Khan explained that he had no family in the film business. He said he moved to Mumbai from Delhi as an outsider.
SRK playfully added, “It’s the story of the King. So, yeah, I'm a king.”

SRK even called him "itna accha human being sher" (a very good human-like lion).
