It will be a subject that hasn’t been explored in Indian cinema much which is the reason why the trio is planning to bring it to the spectacle for the pan-Indian audience in multiple languages. The subject has tremendous potential at the box-office and the first step is to lock the script and later move on to virtually creating the world of jungles, said the source.

KV Vijayendra Prasad confirmed the news to the portal by saying that it is too early to talk about the film at the moment but he is trying to explore the African Forest Adventure space for the film. He mentioned that it is not finalized yet, but he is trying to crack it. He said the timelines of the shoot are not fixed but the film is happening next.
