Shaan Shahid, the Pakistani actor, replied on Shah Rukh Khan’s post where he had shared the ‘Mufasa’ video. Shaan spoke his heart out in a series of replies and blastedKing Khan. Shaan Shahid wrote, “Pls don’t destroy an iconic film with Hindi dub .. no difference in shahrukhs voice it is like any other V/O he does for his films . At least change your voice expression for a lions dub (sic).” He went on to further write, “James Earl Jones must be laughing.. what Shahrukh failed to understand if that the characters in the film are sketched according to the dubbing artists facial expressions .. if you see simba he resembles Matthew brodrick (sic).”

With this, SRK fans just couldn’t take it anymore and they went on bashing Shaan Shahid for his comments. Here’s what some of the fans had to say to Shaan Shahid.

What you know about @iamsrk?
Just keep silent & jealous with his success. Why are you getting jealous? Because you didn't get any chance from Hollywood?
RIP SRK HATERS??

You were once a star son too. Lashing out at another country's star who has always been kind to our actors was not nice. You're an amazing actor of our country. Why give their people a chance to disrespect you in return and call you jealous etc. To each their own.

Than Disney should have approached shaan for Simba or mufasa but Disney doesn't even know a superstar called shaan exist.

Shaan Shahid kept trying to defend himself in a series of tweets replying to all the haters, but he just couldn’t pacify them. One after the other he kept reverting trying to clarify himself but to no avail. More and more SRK fans just kept bashing him black and blue.

Just a little piece of advice Shaan Shahid, you could have just apologised once or deleted the tweet and all would have been sorted. But now that you have opened a can of worms, it’s surely going to haunt you for the days to come. Social media and trolls just do that to you!
