“He is very loving, protective, and caring. When I heard the news, I was really proud that Nana (dad in Telugu) is playing Mufasa. I keep making fun of him, saying that I worked with Disney first for the film Frozen. He practiced a lot for the role, being this was his first time doing so. He is just going to be great,” she added.
