When Bollywood stars swap the silver screen for the sound booth, magic happens. These A-listers didn’t just lend their voices…they owned the characters, turning animated roles into unforgettable performances. From royal lions to seductive snakes, here are five Bollywood celebs who proved that with the right voice, the mic can be the new runway. Let’s hear it (literally) for the ones who slayed behind the scenes!
1. Shah Rukh Khan as Mufasa – The Lion King (Hindi)
Let’s be real, who’s the only man in Bollywood who has the vocal authority to tell you “Remember who you are” and make you cry and feel powerful at the same time? That’s SRK, baby! As Mufasa, Shah Rukh brought nobility, warmth, and that trademark daddy charm to the table. Every line? Pure gold. Honestly, we didn’t just hear him, we felt him. Best Moment: That cloud scene? Goosebumps, girl. Literal lion-king chills.
Rating: 9.5/10 – King Energy Activated
2. Aryan Khan as Simba – The Lion King (Hindi)
Aryan stepped up big-time to voice Simba, and let me tell you, he did not disappoint. He sounded mature, smooth, and carried Simba’s emotional evolution beautifully. You could hear the Khan genes in that growl. Best Moment: When he roars to reclaim Pride Rock, goosebump central.
Rating: 8.5/10 – Cub Energy, Fully Grown
3. Priyanka Chopra as Kaa – The Jungle Book (Hindi)
Miss Chopra Jonas slithered into the role of Kaa, the hypnotic python, and turned it into an ASMR moment. Sexy, creepy, and mysterious, she brought glam villainy like only she can. Let’s just say if Kaa said “trust in me,” we might have listened. Best Moment: That eerie lullaby whisper danger never sounded so good.
Rating: 8/10 – Hiss-terical Diva
4. Saif Ali Khan as Romeo – Roadside Romeo
Yes, your nawab voiced a stray dog with serious game. Saif’s Romeo was part flirty hero, part street-smart survivor. It was all fun, full of sass, and kinda adorable in that “he talks too much but we love him” way. Best Moment: His flirting scenes with Laila? Dog park drama, darling.
Rating: 8/10 – Barkin’ With Swag

5. Akshay Kumar as Jumbo – Jumbo
Akshay played Jumbo, a baby elephant on a journey to find his dad. His voice was warm and comforting, perfect for kids, but let’s be honest, it didn’t pack the star punch we expected. Sweet, but safe. Best Moment: Anytime he said “Mummy!”, an aww alert.
Rating: 7/10 – Cute But Kinda Forgettable

Some celebs were made for the mic, and others? Well, at least they showed up. SRK’s voice still echoes like royalty, Aryan’s surprise act roared with promise, and Priyanka? Whew, she whispered danger like a pro. They didn’t just speak lines; they slayed them. So next time you hear a familiar voice behind the mic, remember…Bollywood doesn’t just act, it echoes.
