Announcing the news, film critic Taran Adarsh wrote on Twitter, "#TheLionKing *Hindi* trailer will be attached to #Bharat... From the director of #TheJungleBook, #TheLionKing releases on 19 July 2019 in #English, #Hindi, #Tamil and #Telugu..."
Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, "Bharat", which also features actresses Katrina Kaif and Disha Patani, is scheduled to release on June 5.
"The Lion King" will release on July 19 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
The remake comes from the director of "The Jungle Book" -- Favreau with Donald Glover leading the cast as young Lion Simba, while Beyonce, who is credited in the trailer with her last name, Knowles-Carter, voices Nala, a childhood friend and later love interest to Simba.
Glover and Knowles-Carter are also joined by James Earl Jones who reprises his role from the 1994 animated film as Simba's father Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Simba's villainous uncle Scar, Alfre Woodard as Simba's mother Sarabi, with child actor JD McCrary playing the young version of Simba.
Shahadi Wright Joseph is voicing the young Nala, while John Kani voices the baboon Rafiki and John Oliver Mufasa's confidant, Zazu.
The trailer has all the main characters of the classic 1994 animated movie including Mufasa, Rafiki, and Simba. It also features the classic scene where Rafiki holds baby Simba in the sky which will certainly make millennials nostalgic.
From the trailer, it seems like the upcoming film is a shot-by-shot remake of the 1994 animated film. WATCH the Hindi trailer of The Lion King below:
