Aziz Jindani, the maker of The Donkey King, while expressing his views said: “The Donkey King’s continued global acceptance underscores that when content is built on universal truths and insights it can transcend geographies and language. The film has been dubbed in more than 10 languages now and when I watched the English version, it was so good, I forgot that the original language was Urdu.”
