Ever since the trailer of Vidyut Jammwal's Junglee has been released it has been receiving overwhelming response. With Elephants playing the integral part of the movie, these gigantic creatures did play their charm and made everyone from the actors to the acclaimed Hollywood director of the movie Chuck Russell run to their tails.

The elephants used to end up eating the foliage on the set. It use to end up in a funny situation that the cast and crew would wait for them to settle and then give a shot.

Vidyut Jammwal, shares, " Elephants were our stars. To add depth, crew used to add foliage on the set but for elephants it was their usual lunch. We literally sat and witnessed Bhola (Elephant co-actor) and his gang relish our set while the crew again rebuilt the setup again.

When the herd was done eating and relaxing, we would take positions and perform. We were like secondary cast, always on stand-by. The unpredictability made it so much fun. We were lucky to witness Elephants in their natural habitat, just being themselves. Final result was worth all the wait.We were one with nature. Experiences like this don't come often."

Director Chuck Russel and the makers also made sure that the environment was kept as natural as possible and there was Zero Carbon footprint on sets to maintain the accuracy.

The actors and crew members were instructed to communicate softly on sets as Elephants are used to a silent atmosphere.

Junglee is all set to take you to an adventure ride on 29th March with Vidyut Jammwal playing the role of a vet, Pooja Sawant as Mahavat and Asha Bhat as a journalist.
