Mumbai: 'The Lion King' in Hindi which is being dubbed by King Khan and his elder son has made a trouble burst for Aryan Khan. After the news of father-son dubbing for the much awaited movie broke, netizens have flooded various social media platforms claiming the structure as a nepotist one.
A user wrote, "#TheLionKing paise Mai kitni power Hoti hai... Welcome to NEPOTISM club."
"When even Disney knows that Bharat mein #TheLionKing jaisi strong script bechne ke iye bhi nepotism ka sahara lena padega. Yes, we deserve it. Also, no problem that Aryan wants 2 do films, but handing him TLK on a platter to debut is what nepotism is all about," a user mentioned.
"Indian people rejected dynastic politics but still is incapable to reject dynastic rule in Bollywood. Hope good days prevail there. #TheLionKing," a user captioned.
"Shahrukh Khan just invented a new form nepotism #TheLionKing," wrote another user.
This has surely created a gap between the SRK fans and some netizens who claim it as a practise of nepotism.
SRK had earlier expressed his excitement about lending voice for 'The Lion King' with his son. He wrote, "Glad to be a part of this journey... a timeless film. Voicing it in Hindi with my own Simba. The last time we did a film was around 15 years ago and it was 'Incredible' and this time around its even more fun. Hope everyone enjoys it 19th July onwards. #TheLionKing."
The film is an upcoming American musical drama directed by Jon Favreau and is all set to hit the screen on July 19.
