Have fun in Mumbai, Mowgli – Priyanka Chopra<br />
Indian-American child actor Neel Sethi, who will be essaying the role of Mowgli in the forthcoming Disney’s adventure<br />
fantasy film ‘The Jungle Book’, says he “never really thought about acting” and wanted to follow his parents’ footsteps to<br />
dentistry. ‘The Jungle Book’, which will release in India on <strong>April</strong> 8, a week before it releases in the US, promises to be an advanced<br />
version of the eponymous 1967 animated film, and brings the story of Rudyard Kipling’s 1864 timeless classic back<br />
on the big screen. The story has been re-imagined by Jon Favreau, who is known for ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Chef’, and backed by<br />
superior technology. Neel, with roots tracing back to Indian state of Punjab, Neel said: ‘I didn’t really do any special thing...<br />
Actually I was just myself because me and Mowgli are similar. But I had to grow my hair, and the team also gave me hair<br />
extensions. “Since we are very similar, it was not difficult for me, It wasn’t that bad; it was pretty comfortable. It was all a lot<br />
of fun... I just went along with the flow,” Neel added.<br />
The movie’s trailers have already made him popular, but “My friends still treat me like a normal person. I don’t get star<br />
treatment at home... they treat me the same,” said the young actor, he is fond of Indian actress Priyanka Chopra, who is<br />
famous in Hollywood now courtesy ‘Quantico’. “I love Priyanka Chopra because she is also in Hollywood now. Besides, she<br />
also plays Kaa in the Hindi version of ‘The Jungle Book’. In Hollywood, I really like Chris Evans, because he is Captain America<br />
and I like Matthew Perry because of ‘Friends’,” Neel said.<br />
Neel, who is currently in Mumbai for the promotions of the film, can be seen running for his life, and surviving among various<br />
species of animals. Priyanka Chopra, who has a fan in Neel Sethi, the Mowgli of Disney’s ‘The Jungle Book’ has asked<br />
the Neel to brace up for an adventurous ride with the Hindi dubbed version of the international film.<br />
Priyanka will be infusing life to the soft and hypnotic voice of the python Kaa. She posted: “Trust Me Neel Sethi... It’s going<br />
to be epic! Have fun in Mumbai, Mowgli.” Along with Priyanka, different characters from the Hindi version of the film have<br />
been voiced by Irrfan Khan, Nana Patekar, Shefali Shah and Om Puri.
