Actor Vidyut Jammwal has arranged a special trailer screening of his upcoming film ‘Junglee’ for children in Mumbai. Vidyut’s upcoming action-adventure movie trailer will release worldwide on Wednesday. However, a few lucky children will get to watch the trailer two days prior to the release, read a statement.
The actor organized a sketching competition for kids on social media and asked them to draw the elephant “Bhola” and the winners of the contest will attend the special trailer screening.
“I’m so happy that the innocence of Bhola and the enthusiasm of children have found such a beautiful union with this sketching contest. I’ve personally seen each and every one of the heartwarming sketches and I’ve got to say, choosing from them was quite a task,” Vidyut said.
“I’m so glad that I’m being able to share the first trailer of the film with these amazing kids who have already shown so much love for the film, Bhola and me. I’m looking forward to their response as I’m certain it will be straight up, honest and unfiltered,” he added.
The actor went an extra mile for this film. He turned elephant whisperer, got in touch with his inner beast, mastered the art of Kalaripayattu and was recently honored as one of the best martial artists in the world.
Vidyut explained, “Kalaripayattu is a discipline that has encouraged people to pick up on strength, sensibility and personality traits of various fantastic animals. It was amazing for me to extend my knowledge of Kalaripayattu by practicing animal flow. Most of the conventional exercises in the gym isolate only two muscles at a time. However, training like an animal functionally overcomes this one way to optimize strength, flexibility, mind-body control.”
A Junglee Pictures production, ‘Junglee’ is directed by Chuck Russell, who also directed Hollywood films like ‘The Mask’ and ‘Scorpion King’, produced by Vineet Jain and co-produced by Priti Shahani.
