The Hindi dubbed version of much-awaited live-action adventure movie ‘The Jungle Book’ is out with its trailer. The trailer opens with Mowgli, the man-cub raised by a family of wolves in the jungle, in an encounter sly python Kaa.
Indian-American Neel Sethi plays the role of Mowgli, while Bollywood’s international actress Priyanka Chopra lends her voice to Kaa’s character. She replaces Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson from the original version.
The one-and-half-minute further shows running for his life in the deep woods from Sher Khan, the tiger. He meets the monkey, King Louie and his friends Baloo, the bear, and the panther Bagheera. But it is Priyanka’s intriguing voice as that is heard throughout the trailer video. The ‘Jai Gangaajal’ actress has nailed it giving a sultry-cum-menacing touch to her character.
Besides, Priyanka, other Bollywood stars have also lent their vocals to the other characters, but they cannot be heard as yet in the trailer. Perhaps, one has to wait till the movie releases to hear Irrfan Khan as Baloo, Om Purias Bagheera, Shefali Shah as the wolf Raksha, Nana Patekar as Shere Khan and Bugs Bhargava in King Louie’s voice.
An excited Priyanka shared the Hindi trailer of ‘The Jungle Book’ on Twitter and wrote, "@TheJungleBook was one of my favourite parts of my childhood & now I get to be in it as the voice of Kaa! Wooopiee."
Directed by Jon Favreau, ‘The Jungle Book’ is a big screen adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s eponymous novel. Produced by Disney, the film is slated to release worldwide on April 8.
