Tut is believed to have died from complications following an accident that was consistent with being thrown from one chariot and being run over by another. He had serious injuries to his trunk and a compound fracture of one of his legs. MRI and CT analysis of his mummy shows the injury, which did not heal, indicating it was perimortem. DNA analysis also shows that he repeatedly suffered from the most severe type of malaria. There was coriander in his tomb, a spice used to treat fever during his time. Tut had a malformed bone in one of his feet, possibly genetic, that probably caused him to limp. He was buried with many canes that were used, as evidenced by wear. It is supposed that Tut was injured during a hunting expedition, possibly a chariot accident. Having been weakened by malaria, it is thought that he developed an infection from the broken bone and leg injury that overwhelmed him causing his death. It is possible he had internal injuries that contributed, however the hasty and poorly performed mummification process, which included a disproportunate amount of scented oils that caused decomposition. His organs, which were stored in canopic jars, were not able to provide any discernible evidence.
In the first part, Akhenaton is speaking to a young Tut, at that time known as Tutankhaten. This is listed as happening in Thebes, but Akhenaton's capitol was Tel-el-Amarna. Then Akhenaton referred to Tut's bride to be as Ankhesanamun, but at this point, she would have been known as Ankhesenpaaten. She and Tut had their names changed after Akhenaton's death when they discontinued Akhenaton's "new religion" and returned to the worship of the old gods, including Amun-Re.
This isn't Sir Ben Kingsley's first time playing a father of an Egyptian Prince, as he also did in the Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014)

Early on, Tutankhamun is shown as having a limp. The fact is that he had a clubfoot and an inherited slump. Among the things found in his tomb are a number of canes of various lengths that show wear from use, beginning in childhood and throughout the rest of his life.
It might also be noted that his wife / sister also had the inherited slump as well as two club feet.
