Anyone who has been a fan of Lion King has loved Timon and Pumbaa as much as Simba and Mufasa. In its Hindi version, the film has comic-timing-perfectionist Shreyas Talpade playing the role of the lovable Timon. Giving it a total desi twist, Shreyas used the Mumbaiya lingo to add his special zing to the character.

"The Lion King is a timeless classic and it’s an honour for me to be a part of it. For my character, we worked on the Mumbai slang through relatable terms that are funny and yet non-offensive. It is a family entertainer and we wanted to maintain that in every dialogue", says Shreyas Talpade.
