Helping build a virtual community and conversations in these times of physical and social distancing, users will be able to interact on the social feed on the platform, as these premieres are happening.

The premiere will be available exclusively to Disney+ Hotstar VIP and Disney+ Hotstar Premium subscribers.
Hrithik Roshan who will be part of this event said, “While making sure my kids are adhering to all isolation rules and getting a deep understanding of the situation and responsibilities, I’m also trying many new things to keep them engaged during this lockdown, and honestly Lion King couldn’t have come at a better time. This Thursday, the three of us are blocking our seats on the couch to catch the special Red Carpet Premiere of Lion King on Disney+ Hotstar. I’m looking forward to spending more quality time with my kids, while interacting with folks online – it's going to be fun."
Tiger Shroff added, “As a child, Lion-King was my go-to movie - I would often picture my father as Mufasa and I was Simba. I am quite excited to attend the Disney+ Hotstar Red Carpet Premiere from the comfort of my home and catch the live-action version of the movie. In a time of lockdown, I hope people find inspiration and joy in little moments of the movie.”
Shraddha Kapoor said, “Lion King has been amongst my favorites and I cannot wait to watch the movie on Disney+ Hotstar with the rest of india. I’m also waiting to hear Mufasa’s life lessons in SRK’s voice and what makes it even better is getting to watch it virtually with my fans while practising social distancing at home!”
Other celebs like Varun Dhawan and Katrina Kaif also posted videos about the same.
Tune in to Disney+ Hotstar on 2nd April to watch The Lion King at 6 PM and The Mandalorian at 8 PM along with your friends, family and favorite celebrities
