Ashok Bansal (Jackie Shroff) is an extremely wealthy, strict industrialist, inspired by the British 'stiff upper lip'. Ashok starts hating poor people & starts working hard to become rich because his mother abandoned him with his two other siblings and left for a richer man in the past. In the process of acquiring wealth, he becomes an unbearable disciplinarian and neglects his family consisting of his younger brother Anil (Shahrukh Khan) and sister Suneeta (Nivedita Saraf). He gets his sister Suneeta married to a man (Dalip Tahil) who turns out to be a golddigger, although she is in love with Ashok's manager (Vivek Vaswani). Anil goes against his brother's highhanded ways and marries Kavita a poor girl (Nagma), opting to leave the house.
The music is composed by Rajesh Roshan, while the songs are written by Indeevar and Javed Akhtar. The film's song "Taare Aasman Ke Dharti Pe" as well as some continued melodies through the movie are sampled from the whistling tune used by Roxette in their song "Joyride". A similar song "Tera Shukriya", from the soundtrack of Shah Rukh Khan's earlier film Chamatkar, not featured in the movie itself, also uses the melody. The original song from where the melody was borrowed was a Kenyan Song named Jambo Bwana by Kenyan band Them Mushrooms.

Simba's uncle stood proudly beside his mate as she nursed their two cubs. Mufasa tasked Simba with gathering a choir for his cousins, and the cub reluctantly agreed to the task. After gathering an unusual assortment of animals to perform, Simba directed his choir in song. At the end of the performance, Simba's uncle and aunt recounted how they had hoped to be proud of Simba.[1]
Simba's uncle is large, broad-shouldered, and powerfully built. His muzzle is long, his chin is scruffy, and his mane is full and somewhat disheveled. He has a deep gold pelt, with a pale yellow muzzle, pale yellow paws, and a pale yellow underbelly. His mane is a rich red, with darker fur combing the tips, and his eyes are reddish-brown.[1]
My debut film King Uncle (1993) had been a success. After King Uncle and DDLJ, I had a dedicated mailbox at the post office, and would get so many fan mails from all over the world! I also got so many marriage proposals. (Laughs)
Frankly, at that point of time, I wasn't interested in doing the film because I had played the central character in King Uncle and the same thing was being offered to me. I did not want to be stereotyped.
Working with YRF was a treat because it was very organised, and lavish. I would go shopping for clothes with Pamela Aunty (Pamela Chopra). We would shop for the best brands like United Colours of Benetton and other designer stores. I was treated like a princess.
I remember he was quite nervous. I would hardly see him eating. All he would eat is a slice of bread and drink a bottle of Coca Cola. At the same time, he would be very excited with the film. He would come thoroughly prepared. I never saw him lose his temper.

Uncle Max is the uncle of Timon, and it is assumed that he is the brother of either Ma or Timon's deceased father. He lives in a colony of meerkats, far from the Pride Lands. In the film, Ma asks him where Timon is until the tunnel is collapsed by Timon's "handy work". Because Ma wants Timon to fit in with the meerkat colony, she requests of Uncle Max to assign Timon to lead the sentry duty. At first, he is very reluctant, but he ends up mentoring him. When Timon is caught off-guard singing "That's All I Need" while on sentry duty, he was nearly eaten by Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, who infiltrated the colony, but he recovers.
Later on in the film, Rafiki tells Ma that Timon is "looking beyond what he sees" and Max follows Ma as they go look for Timon. Near the climax, he is reunited with his nephew Timon and meets Pumbaa. Timon and Pumbaa make a plan with him and Ma to build a trap to keep the hyenas away from Simba who fight his uncle who was really responsible for Mufasa's death.
Rakesh Roshan has always been a multi-talented person since he has nailed every role that he has played whether it be of a director, actor or a producer. On the other hand, Amitabh has a long and illustrious legacy in the film industry. But did you know that the duo hasn't worked together on any project?
