A Quote by Jagapathi Babu
Having portrayed a lot of villainous characters in Telugu cinema, voicing Scar was a different and memorable experience for me, and I was glad to be part of such a grand big-ticket entertainer. Disney films are a perfect package for the entire family and I hope to lend my trademark style to 'The Lion King' as well!
