A unique take everyone thought, but Aryan Khan is making even more interesting career choices along the way.
Not The Only Voice Acting Credit So Far
The 20-year-old Khan has previously voiced Dash Parr from the 2008 film The Incredibles. Even then Shahrukh voiced ‘Mr. Incredible‘ aka Bob Parr in the Hindi rendition of the animated blockbuster.
In The Lion King voice-cast for the Hindi rendition, Aryan voices Simba while King Khan plays Mufasa.
Meanwhile, sister Suhana Khan is intent on carrying on an acting career like SRK. King Khan’s only daughter is currently in acting school. She does theater but both her parents want her to be well-prepped before diving into the industry.
Both Shahrukh and Gauri Khan are of the view that Suhana is not yet ready to make her debut in Bollywood.
