Junglee is about a unique relationship between man and elephants and was locked for release on Dussehra previously. Backed by Vineet Jain and co-produced by Priti Shahani, it is directed by Chuck Russell, who has helmed Hollywood films such as The Mask, Eraser and The Scorpion King.

Vidyut essays the role of a veterinarian who on his homecoming to his elephant reserve, encounters and fights an international poachers racket. The new release date also means the movie would lock horns with Sonam Kapoor - Dulquer Salmaan's The Zoya Factor next year. Get ready for another clash of the titans we say!
