Vidyut Jammwal On Shooting This Magical Scene With An Elephant In Junglee

Vidyut Jammwal who is shooting for Junglee Picture’s upcoming next Junglee spent most of his time forging a deep bond of trust with the elephants, on the sets of the upcoming family action adventure.

Over the course of shooting Chuck Russell’s Junglee, Vidyut Jammwal learnt from the mahouts that elephants responded to humans emotionally and were very sensitive to their energies. Vidyut trained with the elephant whisperer and the mahout to communicate and interact with elephants, as a result, Vidyut spent all his free time with the Tusker- Jai and the female elephant Oon to understand their personalities better.

Most of the sequences with the elephants were planned meticulously, however, the day was always dictated by the majestic beast and his/her mood. The director and Vidyut soon accepted that each scene with the beasts would likely have its own rhythm and emotional quotient. The elephants added more magic than imagined.

However, despite the training, elephants are considered to be one of the most dangerous animals to work closely with because of their size and strength. This was the principle reason that Vidyut had spent time with the mahouts and the beasts- to avoid any risks during the shoot.
