మా కేబినెట్ లో అంత చిల్లర కేసులు లేవు : Kodali Nani

Like a lion roaring from the top of the plain, Superstar Mahesh Babu’s voice-over as Mufasa in The Lion King is echoing across the fanbase at a scale never seen before. For the first time ever, a hero’s voice-over is being celebrated with such grandeur-huge cutouts of Mahesh as Mufasa adorn every corner, and special fan shows sold out within hours. The excitement surrounding this iconic role has fans leaving no stone unturned in showcasing their love for the superstar.

Even Mahesh’s daughter, Sitara Ghattamaneni, is proudly sharing her joy. In a heartwarming video shared by the makers, she expressed how proud she is of her father’s role as Mufasa, drawing parallels between his real-life personality and the beloved character. “He’s loving and protective, just like Mufasa,” she said, adding with a laugh that she had worked with Disney first through Frozen 2, where she voiced young Elsa.

Sitara also shared an adorable behind-the-scenes story about Mahesh’s preparation for the role. She revealed that he practiced his lines with their pet dog, Snoopy, adding a personal touch to the iconic scenes. “Every time I watch the trailer, I feel happy when he comes on screen.

He’s going to be great,” she beamed. Sitara even reminisced about how Mahesh used to hold Snoopy like Rafiki holds Simba in The Lion King, bringing a full circle of humor and heart to the tale. As The Lion King releases on December 20, there’s no doubt that Mahesh Babu’s Mufasa will leave a lasting impression. And with the star’s family backing him, it’s clear that the only thing louder than the lion’s roar is the pride that follows him-on and off screen!
