Disney's crown jewel, ‘The Lion King’, is much in the news. Coming up with "ground-breaking technology that re-imagines the greatest story ever told", it is going to be dubbed in Telugu.

Disney is bringing together Brahmanandam and Ali to voice for Pumbaa and Timon, respectively. “Disney movies are a great outing for the entire family, and my children are huge fans of their classics, especially The Lion King. It was a unique and fun experience to voice Pumbaa, and I am looking forward to presenting the film in Telugu to all my fans out there, with my personal touch!” says Brahmanandam.

Adds Ali, “My kids love to watch Disney films, and The Lion King was a great opportunity to be a part of their storytelling legacy and do a special film for my children! Voicing Timon was great fun and I hope my fans appreciate this new avatar of mine when they see The Lion King in Telugu!”

Directed by ‘Iron Man’ and ‘The Jungle Book’ fame director, Jon Favreau, Disney’s The Lion King will release on July 19 in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and English
