online
it's
going
to
be
fun," Hrithik

on

hand,
said
the
original
The

was
his
go-to
movie
as
a
child.
"I
would
often
picture
my
father
as
Mufasa
and
I
was
Simba.
I
am
quite
excited
to
attend
the
Disney+
Hotstar
Red
Carpet
Premiere
from
the
comfort
of
my
home
and
catch
the
live-action
version
of
the
movie.
In
a
time
of
lockdown,
I
hope
people
find
inspiration
and
join
little
moments
of
the
movie.
