Animal drama cast in three languages

Filmed in the jungles of Kerala simultaneously, depicting their relationship with man

ACTOR Rana Daggubati (pictured) has jetted off to the jungles of Kerala for the shoot of his upcoming film Haathi Mere Saathi.

Daggubati tweeted this week: “Morning… Off into the jungles of Kerala for filming Haathi Mere Saathi.”

“Haathi Mere Saathi is an animal drama with Pulkit Samrat, Vishnu Vishal, Zoya Hussein and Kalki Koechlin. The Eros International’s movie is titled Kaadan in Tamil and Aranya in Telugu. Helmed by Prabhu Solomon, the trilingual is being shot simultaneously in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil with a different cast across languages.

The movie highlights man-animal relationship and is a story inspired by true events and a tribute to the 1971 classic film Haathi Mere Saathi – starring Rajesh Khanna and Tanuja.

While Daggubati, Hussein and Koechlin feature in all the three language films, Samrat’s character will be essayed by southern actor Vishnu Vishal in the Tamil and Telugu versions, along with actor Raghu Babu.
