Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King to start streaming on JioHotstar from March 26

MUFASA: THE LION KING is the story of five misfits on an adventurous journey. After the events of the first part, Simba (Donald Glover) and Nala (Beyoncé Knowles-Carter) proudly rule the Pride Lands. They go to a distant part of the kingdom to mate, leaving their daughter Kiara (Blue Ivy... Carter) alone. Simba asks Timon (Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) to give them company, which they do. But the trio are joined by an unexpected guest - Rafiki (John Kani). He tells Kiara the story of her grandfather, Mufasa (Aaron Pierre) and where he came from. Rafiki reveals that Mufasa lived happily with his parents though their region experienced drought. The parents tell them of a land they call 'Milele' where there's peace and greenery all around. One day, it starts raining heavily. The dam bursts and Mufasa is separated from his parents. He reaches a distant land where he befriends a cub, Taka (Kelvin Harrison Jr). Taka is the son of Obasi (Lennie James) and also the successor to the throne. Obasi hates Mufasa, as he feels that he's a stray who'll betray Taka. But Taka and Obasi's partner Eshe (Thandiwe Newton) develop a liking for Mufasa. Mufasa and Taka grow up and are inseparable. Sadly, the pride faces a challenge when The Outsiders, that is, a pack of white lions, headed by Kiros (Mads Mikkelsen), threaten to eliminate them all. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
