'Haathi Mere Saathi' Has The Potential To Bring Audience To Theatres: Rana Daggubati

Actor Rana Daggubati is gearing up for the release of his upcoming trilingual movie, Haathi Mere Saathi. The movie will be hitting theaters on March 26 simultaneously in Hindi as Haathi Mere Saathi, Tamil as Kaadan, and Telugu as Aranya. While the movie is expected to open well in Telugu and Tamil, Rana Daggubati feels it has the potential to change the game for Bollywood, and pull crowds to the theatres in massive numbers.

Rana plays the role of Bandev, a man who has spent his life in the jungle and is committed to protecting and animals living in it. Directed by Prabhu Solomon, "Haathi Mere Saathi" has a background score by Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty.



"'Haathi Mere Saathi' is a story with a soul. It's a movie rooted deep in emotions and an enormity that can be realized only on the big screens. Just like the Southern industry, I strongly feel that our movie has the potential to bring the Hindi audience to the theaters too", the actor said.

The film has been shot in the dense forests of Kerala and Thailand and is based on one man's struggle to save the forest and its animals, and Unni was the star elephant of the film. It was originally expected to hit screens in April last year but was postponed due to the lockdown.

Apart from Rana Daggubati, the movie also stars Pulkit Samrat, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Zoya Hussain, and Vishnu Vishal in prominant roles.
