He is sometimes accompanied by an unnamed emaciated tiger "yes-man" office aide. He takes enjoyment out of running small companies out of business Higher For Hire is sometimes on his hit list with a sense of ruthlessness to skirt around the law as he chooses.
He also likes to feed tiny insects to the many carnivorous plants he grows in his office. At one point he even hires the Air Pirates to create an artificial oil shortage, so he can extort higher prices from the public in " On a Wing and a Bear ".
He has a well-armed air force and navy, complete with battleships. This is mainly to protect his Khan Transport shipping and business interests worldwide. However, he is willing to act nobly at times, such as ordering his forces into the air to protect the city from the Air Pirates, and has shown that he respects Baloo 's piloting skills, most notably when he allows Baloo to take over piloting his plane after having all of his pilots replaced with his own robotic pilots; his plane is ambushed by the Air Pirates, and the robotic pilot refuses to deviate from its flight plan due to its programming, causing Baloo to forcefully remove the robot and take control of the plane to evade the foes.
He has an extremely cool and calm personality, rarely if ever showing any sort of alarm or surprise, regardless of the circumstances. In fact, when his plane is attacked by Don Karnage 's forces in the incident detailed above, he calmly mixes himself a drink as he explains the situation to Baloo. He appears in a couple of mugshots on a computer, implying that he is a criminal in the series.
Shere Khan was more of a bully and cocky in the series rather than a dangerous predator. Khan often tagged along with Baloo and friends on many adventures, usually trying to prove he's braver than they are. In the series, Shere Khan is given an American accent, while in other appearances, Khan speaks with a British accent.
He seems to be the oldest of the cubs. He is sometimes called Khanny by others. In spite of being a cub, Khan still holds his intimidating demeanor and continues to strike fear into the hearts of many of the jungle's inhabitants. However, his cocky attitude can get him and his friends into trouble with foes even he's frightened by, usually by bigger animals. Khan prefers to refer to the others as his followers rather than his friends, even though he obviously enjoys spending time with them.
During the second season though, while still friends with the other cubs, he becomes less often seen with them and spends more time hunting. Much like an adult, Khan was sometimes found with Kaa. In one episode, the duo teamed up to take advantage of Louie , after he accidentally injured them. Acting as if they were too injured to do anything themselves, they spent the day bossing the ape around.
Khan is the least physically-changed of the cubs during the second season: He is slightly taller with brighter fur, but still has the same voice actor. In Jungle Cubs: Born to Be Wild DVD, Khan, as an adult, returned to murder Mowgli yet again; however, Baloo was able to throw a beehive onto the tiger's head right before he could, having him run off in pain.
Shere Khan appeared in the TV series House of Mouse as a recurring guest, usually seen sitting either alone or with Kaa. In most of his pairings with Kaa, he is often seen holding Kaa by the neck, like in the movie. In his most notable appearance in " The Mouse Who Came to Dinner ", Mortimer Mouse was pretending to be the club's critic which was really Lumiere to have Mickey and friends obey him, annoying them and the other guests including Shere Khan.
When Mortimer demanded real entertainment instead of Huey, Dewey, and Louie , Shere Khan agreed with Lumiere who stated that the entertainment is excellent that Mortimer was the one who was annoying and asked "Do you mind? Somebody get Tigger 's evil twin here a ball of yarn! Cat Food! He used one of his claws on Goofy to make it clear that he and Kaa was not a vegetarian. Soon after Goofy was replaced by advanced technology, Shere Khan and Kaa's meal order was corrected and they both got a giant steak to eat.
In " Goofy's Menu Magic ", when a food shortage occurred, Goofy attempted to serve Shere Khan his shoe for dinner an apparent reference to the Goofy short " Tiger Trouble ". Shere Khan, however, was unamused.
However, in the opening sequence, a tiger's paw is seen on-screen as the characters are walking towards the club. So it could be possible that only Shere Khan's paw was seen once in the movie. Shere Khan also appears in the live-action film, being portrayed by a real tiger. However, Shere Khan is presented as a more sympathetic character in this film. Khan appears rarely and instead serves as a major antagonist turned anti-hero of the film while an arrogant British captain named William Boone played by Cary Elwes serves as the main antagonist of the film.
Unlike his animated counterpart, Khan does not kill for sport, and his sole goal is to protect the jungle from those who break its "laws", namely humans who kill animals for fun instead of food. He is described by the narrator of the film as "the jungle's royal keeper", and by Buldeo as the "king of tigers". At the beginning of the movie, he sees two British guards and a hunter named Buldeo shooting animals for fun, and becomes enraged at this.
He roars in his fury, letting the soldiers know he's returned and proceeds to follow the column of soldiers that the guards and Buldeo are part of. That night, he attacks the humans' camp in revenge for the animals' death, killing the two guards before turning on Buldeo. But before Khan can kill Buldeo, Nathoo Mowgli's father and the soldiers' guide shields the hunter.
Although Nathoo tells Buldeo to shoot Khan, the ungrateful hunter runs away and abandons Mowgli's father to be killed. Khan's attack is also what led Mowgli to being separated from civilization and living in the jungle. Although he was heard growling when Bagheera found Mowgli, the tiger made no attempts to attack Mowgli at any point over the years probably because Mowgli hasn't broken the jungle law.
Shere Khan is not seen again until the second half of the movie. By this time, Mowgli has fallen in love with his childhood friend Katherine "Kitty" Brydon and made an enemy in Captain Boone, who has his henchmen kidnap Kitty and her father to force Mowgli to take them to a treasure.
Like before, Khan roars to announce his return, though why he started stalking the group is not revealed it was possible to avenge Baloo's earlier shooting by Boone and Wilkins. Boone plans to kill Shere Khan for his skin, though Buldeo tries to convince him otherwise, knowing how dangerous the tiger is. Two of Boone's henchmen die before Khan catches up to the group, where he scares the villains into splitting up.
Once separated, Shere Khan kills Lt. John Wilkins , a henchman of Captain Boone, while Buldeo is buried alive while trying to shoot Mowgli. After the climactic battle between Mowgli and Boone ending with Boone being killed by Kaa , Khan and Mowgli meet face to face for the first time.
Khan is obviously distrusting of Mowgli and all humans in general and attempts to scare him away by roaring in his face, but Mowgli stubbornly roars back and stares Khan down. Seeing Mowgli's courage, Khan develops a newfound respect for him, and begins to see him as a fellow "creature of the jungle". Because of this and the fact that neither broke the jungle law, Shere Khan spares Mowgli and allows him and Kitty to leave peacefully.
Shere Khan is first seen attending the jungle meeting called by Hathi. He then contemplates on who he is going to eat, with his sidekick, Tabaqui, the hyena, telling jokes about it, much to the tiger's annoyance.
He then decides to hunt man, claiming to have a craving for "Indian food". He and Tabaqui then ambush some humans visiting the river, but when he is shot at by hunters, he flees and is assumed dead.
Years later, he reveals himself alive to the wolf pack and demands that Mowgli is given to him, but Akela refuses, and Shere Khan swears revenge. He is later seen conspiring with the wolf pack bullies about separating Mowgli from the pack, which succeeds. He and Tabaqui then conspire with the chimps about separating Mowgli from Bagheera and Baloo.
The chimps then inform Shere Khan that they've succeeded in capturing Mowgli, and he and Tabaqui head there. En route, Shere Khan runs into Raksha and kills her.
The enraged tiger then attacks the chimps. Whether or not he killed them is unknown. Later, Mowgli lures Shere Khan into a trap by having him chase him to the river. Shere Khan at first scoffs at the notion that Mowgli can defeat him, but Mowgli forms a circle of fire around the tiger, frightening him and causing Tabaqui to desert him. Mowgli then makes Shere Khan to swear that he will leave the jungle and never return, threatening him should he break his word.
The frightened tiger agrees, and flees the jungle forever. Shere Khan appears in the live-action film adaptation, voiced by Idris Elba. He is also the main antagonist in that adaptation. In this incarnation, Shere Khan sports burn scars and a blind eye on the left side of his face sustained from a fight with Mowgli's father.
Idris Elba described this incarnation of Shere Khan as "a creature that reigns with fear" and that he "terrorizes everyone he encounters because he comes from a place of fear". Shere Khan first appears during the drought, when the animals gather to drink at the Water Truce; the watering hole at which all animals drink without attacking each other, although the presence of tiger frightens them.
When Shere Khan smells Mowgli, he is confronted by the Seeonee wolf pack led by Akela, who states that Mowgli belongs to their pack. Shere Khan mockingly scoffs at this and wonders when man was allowed to be adopted into the jungle.
When Akela defends Mowgli, Shere Khan shows the scarred side of his face to remind the animals at the Water Truce of what a grown man is capable of. He then says that the law of the jungle states that man is forbidden. Raksha, however, retorts that Shere Khan also commits deeds forbidden in the jungle, stating that he hunts for pleasure and kills for power, and firmly states that Mowgli is her cub. Shere Khan, respecting the sanctity of the Water Truce, gives them until the monsoon season to hand Mowgli over before leaving.
This causes Akela and his wolf pack to debate whether to have Mowgli leave the jungle or not, resulting Mowgli to leave the wolf pack with Bagheera to head over to a near-by Man-village. Shere Khan next appears when Bagheera is escorting Mowgli to the Man-village. He stalks them through a herd of Buffalo and attacks Mowgli, only to be attacked by Bagheera.
They fight viciously, but Shere Khan easily overpowers and injures Bagheera. He then chases after Mowgli through the stampeding buffalo, but Mowgli outruns him, escaping with the herd, much to Shere Khan's fury. Shere Khan returns to the Seeonee pack and discusses Mowgli with Akela, who states that Mowgli has left the jungle, meaning that the pack and the tiger no longer have a quarrel. However, a furious Shere Khan kills Akela by throwing him off a cliff before instating himself as the pack's alpha.
He then tells the wolves to spread the word of Akela's death, hoping it will lure Mowgli to him. During her encounter with Mowgli, Kaa reveals that Mowgli and his father were traveling from one village to another when Shere Khan encountered them. Shere Khan killed Mowgli's father but ran away after being burned by his torch, leaving Mowgli to be adopted by Bagheera and the wolf pack.
While reigning as the pack's leader, Shere Khan tells stories to the wolf pups about the other creatures of the jungle in particular, the cuckoo, which preys upon the love of the other mother birds in order to deposit its own egg into their nest, starving them while benefiting its own chick.
He directs his story at Raksha, citing her love for Mowgli as a sign of weakness. When Raksha asked why Shere Khan is doing this, he states that he wants Mowgli dead and that he'll be waiting when Mowgli returns.
When King Louie informs Mowgli of Akela's death, he returns with a torch stolen from the Man-village and accidentally starts a forest fire. Mowgli faces Shere Khan at the Water Truce, where the tiger shows the boy has become a man in his use of fire, and that all the other animals now fear him because of it. Mowgli then throws the fire away, allowing Shere Khan to attack him, only to be confronted by Baloo, Bagheera, and Raksha and her pack, who cite their code as they defy him.
Shere Khan attacks regardless, saying he will have them all in his teeth, and fights Baloo, the wolves, and Bagheera, who give Mowgli enough time to run to the burning jungle. Shere Khan pursues him to an old strangler fig tree, and chases him into it, not knowing he has been lured into a trap. As he faces Mowgli, he mocks the boy, saying that he never would allow him to grow old and that he will kill him as he killed Mowgli's father and Akela, mockingly asking how much longer the man-cub thought he would last against him than they did.
Mowgli replies that he is not afraid of Shere Khan and is done running from the tiger, goading him into pouncing before swinging away to safety. However, the branch Mowgli was standing on is too weak to hold Shere Khan's weight and it breaks off, sending the tiger plummeting to his death in a fiery pit below the tree, and with this, both Mowgli's father and Akela are avenged.
Shere Khan is among the villains imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost. Apparently, he had a soft spot for Evie when she was younger, since every time she giggles he smiles. Here, he swipes and roars at Mowgli as the latter pelts him with bananas to lead to Khan's eventual defeat.
Shere Khan is also featured in the video game The Jungle Book 2. As the game follows the storyline of the original film, Shere Khan's goal is the same as the film. However, Khan appears much earlier in the game. During the climax of the game, Shere Khan is given his own song in the form of " Run ". Shere Khan appeared with The Jungle Book collection as the antagonist.
During the storyline, Khan arrives in the Kingdom in search of Mowgli, but is fended off by Bagheera. His first posting was at Okara in 27th Sindh Regiment. Always smiling as a devoted soldier, he was fondly called Shera Lion and was very popular among his officers and colleagues. Captain Sher Khan was posthumously awarded Pakistan's highest gallantry award, the Nishan-e-Haider , for his actions during the Kargil Conflict with India in The following is the official statement by the Pakistan Army: [1].
He counterattacked the enemy at Tiger Hill during day when enemy could easily see his movements. It was a surprise for Indian Army as they were not expecting any thing like that. It was considered as a suicide counterattack but being familiar with the positions of that post Karnal Sher was not only successful in forcing the enemy to retreat but also followed them to their base camp and embraced shahadat.
