After Siddharth, who has dubbed for Simba, Arvind Swami is the latest Tamil actor to have given his voice to the Tamil version of the film. Swami, who was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s gangster drama, Chekka Chivantha Vaanam (2018), has done the voice over for Scar, the wicked uncle of Simba.

What makes his association with the movie even more special is the fact that he had dubbed for Simba in the Tamil version of the television series 20 years ago. Life seems to have come full circle for the actor!
