It is a great angle yes on a deleted scene, but i would have gone for more wise sage over angered parent.

look at how he did this initially in the original Lion King, where he was getting Simba to remember who he was and reminding him of his purpose in the circle of life.

How i would have gone with this is:

Mufasa:Simba (appears again in sky as the cgi apparition in the first movie, but fitting simba's pride's time period with the CGI of its time, than appear through the 20+ year old unix caps process)

Simba: Father

Mufasa: Simba, What have you done? (more questioning than expressing anger here)

Simba:huh? (confused as you have him here)

Mufasa: You banished Kovu without having him explain what happened, and to confine your daughter in pride rock like a prisoner because of what happened? Simba, I taught you to respect all creatures in the circle of life regardless of their intentions. you have strayed from the path in which i taught you my son

Simba: But father, Kovu was using Kiara to get to me

Mufasa: At First Yes,  Simba he was raised to be a weapon by a hateful lioness, he didn't have any choices or escape, he is misguided and is as much a part of the circle of life as you are, look inside him as your daughter has, Kiara saved him and he wanted to tell you Zira's plot, I also taught you all creatures great and small deserve to be heard. he had nothing to do with the ambush

Simba: Zira made it clear that Kovu was Scar's heir, I know he is following his paw prints, and if i hadn't escaped he would have taken over pride rock and Kiara would end up dead, but father how do i learn to accept him?

Mufasa: No she wouldn't my son, and how could you be so overprotective of her, for i let you make your own mistakes, you learned, and so will she. Kiara knows Kovu better than anyone else, much like you with Nala when you were young. She is an adult now Simba, She can make her own choices and decide for herself, and learn from the consequences of her own actions as you and nala have done, and she is smart enough to be a judge of character. Simba, fatherhood is about teaching your cubs right from wrong and being accountable for their actions, and letting them learn from their mistakes with the proper guidance. you have no right to trap your daughter here and treat her like a child, be proud of the woman she has become.

Simba: She is young and doesn't know what she wants,  and whether she likes it or not Kovu will not come back. I admit i have strayed from your goals father, my daughter would want me to learn this lesson

Mufasa (glares, is proud he is willing to admit when he's wrong): What's happened to you? you have become more cold and bitter over the years, as king you must not let your emotions get the best of you, as a parent admitting to your adult child when you are wrong is important for their growth and yours. Kiara is right,  I governed the pridelines in a way that was firm but fair to all that lived there in the great circle of life. She is more of the adult and the strong leader because she is willing to accept all beings great and small into her heart and give them a chance, while you are isolating  them and cruel to almost every being that comes here, you are not following my goals and being me, you are becoming like Scar.

Simba: Father, what must i do to avoid this outcome and not be your brother/my uncle?

Mufasa: If you don't change your ways and let go of your hatred and those negative feelings that exist within you Simba, Not only will you turn everyone against you, you will lose your wife and daughter and end up like your uncle...... I hope you are prepared to face the consequences if you go down this road. do the right thing my son, make amends with your daughter and accept Kovu as part of the great circle of life and your family.

Simba: thank you, father. I will follow these teachings

Mufasa: You are welcome, my son. the great kings of the past will always be with you and with her, and so will i.

(remember, remember, remember)
