Rana Daggubati has wrapped up the shoot of his upcoming film Aranya. The trilingual film of Rana explores the relationship between a mahout and his elephant. The multilingual movie, directed by Prabhu Solomon will also be released as “Haathi Mere Saathi” in Hindi and “Kaadan” in Tamil.
Rana Daggubati is playing the role of Aranya in the film which was initially planned for the 2nd April release. But later the makers postponed the release due to lockdown. With a bunch of Bollywood films releasing on Amazon, several other filmmakers are in talks to sell off the digital rights of their movies. Digital giant Netflix approached the makers of Rana Daggubati starrer Aranya to acquire the rights and quoted a decent price.
It is being heard that Rana Daggubati’s father Suresh Babu is in talks with the makers and Netflix to close the deal. An official announcement regarding this deal is expected soon. The movie Aranya, which is inspired by the unfortunate event of humans encroaching upon the elephant corridor in Kaziranga, Assam, shot in two different countries, in four forest locales in Mahabaleshwar, Kerala, and Mumbai in India, and in Thailand, took 250 days to shoot, involving 145 cast and crews. The heroines in all three versions of the movies are Shriya Pilgaonkar and Zoya Hussain.
