Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu is rumored to be in talks for an exciting global project. Reports suggest that he may lend his voice to the character Mufasa in Disney’s upcoming animated movie, “Mufasa: The Lion King.” This development has generated considerable buzz, especially since it would mark the first time a Telugu actor has been part of such a significant international production.
The news comes from a Pinkvilla report, highlighting that the filmmakers see Mahesh Babu’s deep and powerful voice as an ideal match for Mufasa’s role. If this collaboration happens, it would be a significant milestone for Tollywood, showcasing its talent on a global platform.
Fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation, hoping to hear Mahesh Babu as Mufasa when the movie releases on December 20, 2024. Although no official announcement has been made yet, the mere possibility has created much excitement.
In the Hindi version of the film, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan had previously voiced Mufasa, with his sons Aryan and AbRam also contributing as Simba and young Mufasa, respectively. This star-studded family collaboration added another layer of anticipation for fans.
Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu is currently focused on his upcoming movie “SSMB29,” directed by SS Rajamouli. The film is expected to be a massive release, generating attention not just in India but globally, with a projected release date in 2027.
If Mahesh Babu indeed voices Mufasa, it would not only be a personal milestone but also a significant achievement for the entire Telugu film industry, further bridging regional cinema with the global audience.
