A video of a Kerala youngster who was trying to pull off the popular scene from Baahubali by taming an elephant, is the talk of the town. The incident took place in Thodupuzha, where the youngster, who attempted to reenact the Baahubali stunt went wrong as he was flung in the air by a visibly irked elephant. 

The video begins with the youngster, who is under the influence of alcohol, feeding the elephant with bananas. Then he is seen kissing the elephant twice. The man's friends who were live-streaming the entire incident on Facebook, is heard warning him not to do it as he is drunk. After the youngster tries to climb upon the elephant's trunk, like Prabhas' stunt in Baahubali, the animal pushes him away with great force, tossing him down ten feets away. In the video we can see him lying unconscious on the ground. Reportedy, the man somehow managed to survive, and is admitted in hospital. The Facebook live video was taken down, however the video is being widely circulated on social media platforms.
