The recently released trailer of The Donkey King shows that the film will be a complete entertainment package.

The main character of the film is a donkey named Mangu voiced by Jan Rambo. Mangu is a launderer who has been selected as the next King of Azad Nagar - a fictional town in The Donkey King.

While one clip in the trailer did seem a bit insensitive towards the transgender community, it also featured US President Donald Trump as a hippopotamus. And of course, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was bound to be represented in the film as well.

Shahid Qayyum | 6 years ago | Reply The writer does not have the right to be cynical about the movie. It seems the writer has not seen it. There is a lot to look forward to other than the trailer and I am witness to that. This is a 100% Pakistani movie made in Pakistan. Our media needs to be more responsible while reporting on the efforts made by our country men. Thank you.
