It is now known that actors Aishwarya Rajesh, Rohini, P Ravishankar (of Vettaikaran fame), Singampuli, Robo Shankar, and Manobala are also a part of the voice cast.

While it has not been specified who is voicing which character, it is speculated that Ravishankar will voice Mufasa, the father of Simba, while Rohini will voice for Simba's mother, Sarabi. Aishwarya Rajesh is expected to voice Simba's love interest, Nala, while Manobala and Robo Shankar will voice Timon and Pumbaa, respectively.
