Rana Daggubati learned a lot from his best group of co-stars
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,March 20 2021]
We often see actors talking about the experience they had with their co-stars on certain project but Rana Daggubati has a very unique take in that. The actor worked with several elephants in the wilderness of Kerala and Thailand during the filming of his upcoming film 'Haathi Mere Saathi'. The experience has been life changing for him as he has learned and discovered several things from these beasts. As the title of the film itself depicts, elephants have traits like loyalty and friendship.
About his experience of working closely with the giants, Rana said, Once you're friends with the elephant, he or she is helping you doing half of the things. I play a character who lives in the wild. Just like you build a bond with your co-actor you build a bond with the elephant. Once you build that bond and relationship with an elephant, then when you're performing with elephant, whether you're doing a jump or a fall or the elephant is hugging you, the elephant helps you perform. And the beauty is, as actors we might give wrong reactions but the elephant will never give a wrong reaction.
Rana also adds, I've learnt so much by living in the forest, so close to nature and wildlife. They, especially the elephants, teach us to give back to this planet in every way possible, which we humans have forgotten somewhere down the line. This experience has changed me forever as a person. The film is going to release on 26th of March and it stars Pulkit Samrat, Shriya Pilgaonkar and Zoya Hussain in supporting roles.
