As per media source,  the new film will partly focus on the early years of Mufasa, the regal father of Simba whose death forms the emotional heart of the first film and its remake.

Lion King’s recent reboot directed by Jon Favreau bagged mixed reviews but huge box office receipts; it made over $1.5 billion at the global box office.
